It is now a static file. I keep using the old networking style (ifup) in workstations and servers. N-M is relegated to the netbook, just because is easier to configure the widi AP settings from there. > But now I want to test, how Networkmanager is working.

Before editing the involved files, you have to consider what network interfaces do you want to be managed by N-M. By default, squeeze (and also wheeze, I guess) is configured so that ifup controls the wired devices while N-M handles wireless ones. You can change this as instructed here: http://wiki.debian.org/NetworkManager > I have Networkmanager already installed, but changed nothing in its > config. To get the wireless card to be used by N-M just comment the wlan0 stanza at "/etc/network/interfaces", add a new connection to the N-M applet and check if network-manager daemon is configured to be started on system booting. > If Networkmanager will fail, of course I can restore resolv.conf and > interfaces at every time. That shouln'd be a problem. Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
