Anyone know what is happening with Network Manager 7? I was testing a early version around the first of the year & when I updated to Intrepid I needed to roll back to 0.6.6......I'd like to run 7 again, it works better than 6.
Any news about NM7?

Upstream are very active, NM7 is regularly synced in Fedora so I can tell you that progress is being made and it rocks harder than ever.
Meh, I could never get the source to build.
Always got crazy errors and never had the time to get it working.
Well... this thread can be useful, howto install SVN

Sweet!
Thanks going to try that out now
I went to try and get the sid packages after I couldn't get it to build, was quiet surprised to find it still has 0.66
Hey Eclipse--
Please post if it works for you--I was looking at the depends & am getting a error about libdbus-1 not being installable. I look in Synaptic & see libdbus-1.3 installed---just don't know if it will work with the "newer?" version....
You need the dev package aswell.
Got everything set--how is it working for you?
Well, my little report...
- Intrepids repo, installs after little package findings
- Wired connection works just fine
- Wireless with a D-Link DWL-G122 not....
Just to follow manual procedures http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=684495
- UMTS with a bluetooth connected cell phone, "out of order"...
wvdial works OK.
:)
NM 0.7 'almost' made it into hardy. i'd imagine with the goal of seamless internet, NM 0.7 should be a high priority. i hate looking at outdated websites! the NM site shows 0.65 being the latest. hardy has 0.66, and fedora has 0.70 (though beta/alpha, obviously) what's the state of this? is this likely to make it in?
Well, I must change my report
Auto connected "Wireless" works just fine today. :)
Something must be set during manual connections
sudo ifconfig <interface> down
sudo dhclient -r <interface> sudo ifconfig <interface> up sudo iwconfig <interface> essid "ESSID_IN_QUOTES" sudo iwconfig <interface> mode Managed sudo dhclient <interface>
mode Managed... ?
--------------
Connect UMTS (3G) is delivered with all Nokia and Sony-Ericsson cell phones, Windows software at least for the european market.
It must be rather easy to fix also this for NM 0.7 ?
Mode Managed?
HMMM--I use ad-hoc--been busy so I haven't tried it yet. I'll setup tonight or tomorrow eve...Thanks for the update!!

Well, it was more what mode Managed is....:confused:
I checked Gentoos docs and found this
Note: If you're using the host-ap driver you will need to put the card in Managed mode before it can be used with wpa_supplicant correctly. You can use iwconfig_eth0="mode managed" to achieve this in /etc/conf.d/net.

I have seen this before and it is confusing. This morning the wireless connection was directly up in "Automode"....
NM 0.7 works ...:)
