Package: network-manager Version: 0.8.4.0-2 Severity: normal Tags: wheezy According to the docs I can find, if I use nm-applet >> Edit Connections >> Auto Eth0 >> Edit >> IPV4 Settings >> change "Method" to "Shared to other computers" then any PC connected to the Ethernet port should see a DHCP miniserver (dnsmasq), and once connected should be NAT-connected to the Internet via my broadband wireless connection.
But it doesn't happen. According to syslog, instead when the system detects a cable plugged into Ethernet it *sends* DHCP client requests to eth0, instead of listening for them. I tried this with a Fedora LiveCD and it worked flawlessly. I would have tried a Wheezy LiveCD to eliminate the possibility that it's a configuration problem with my system, but no such thing seems to exist. If this should be filed against nm-applet instead, please move it and my apologies. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.39-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.39-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages network-manager depends on: ii adduser 3.113 add and remove users and groups ii dbus 1.4.12-5 simple interprocess messaging syst ii isc-dhcp-client 4.1.1-P1-17 ISC DHCP client ii libc6 2.13-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libdbus-1-3 1.4.12-5 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.94-4 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libgcrypt11 1.4.6-7 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libglib2.0-0 2.28.6-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnutls26 2.10.5-2 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libgudev-1.0-0 172-1 GObject-based wrapper library for ii libnl1 1.1-7 library for dealing with netlink s ii libnm-glib2 0.8.4.0-2 network management framework (GLib ii libnm-util1 0.8.4.0-2 network management framework (shar ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.101-4 PolicyKit Authorization API ii libuuid1 2.19.1-4 Universally Unique ID library ii lsb-base 3.2-27 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii udev 172-1 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo ii wpasupplicant 0.7.3-3 client support for WPA and WPA2 (I Versions of packages network-manager recommends: ii dnsmasq-base 2.57-1 A small caching DNS proxy and DHCP ii iptables 1.4.11.1-3 administration tools for packet fi ii modemmanager 0.4.997-1 D-Bus service for managing modems ii policykit-1 0.101-4 framework for managing administrat ii ppp 2.4.5-5 Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) - da Versions of packages network-manager suggests: ii avahi-autoipd 0.6.30-5 Avahi IPv4LL network address confi -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
