Bug ID: 410722
Summary: net profile editor messes up when VLAN is being used
Product: plasma-nm
Version: 5.16.3
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm
Assignee: jgrul...@redhat.com
Reporter: fire...@firemail.cc
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
while kcmshell5 kcm_networkmanagement works well with a "normal"
pppoE-connection and ethernet-connections and so forth, it seems to support
VLAN rather poorly.
The nm-connection-editor from the Gnome NetworkManager suite works much better
for VLAN, but
cannot switch between ONLINE and OFFLINE.
So currently while using this VLAN 7 profile, I do not utilize kcmshell5
kcm_networkmanagement
at all because it just messes up everything in unpredictable ways and its
display is not
useful and is inconsistent.
Since ISP Dt. Telekom has millions of customers, it is desirable for pppoE with
VLAN frame-tagging to "7"
to work as smoothly as a normal pppoE or as roaring-penguin-pppoE for that
matter.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. follow https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/snippets/638
2. try to switch between ONLINE and OFFLINE
3. it won't work, so you must nmcli for that
OBSERVED RESULT
the kcmshell5 kcm_networkmanagement GUI is not much useable for controlling a
VLAN profile, see also
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/issues/222
EXPECTED RESULT
I expected a VLAN 7 pppoE connection to work as smoothly as a non-VLAN
connection
