Network Manager 0.7 Preliminary Testing

[Technoviking]

I did get network manager work, but do have to restart network-manager every time I reboot.

sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart

No luck with a wpa-2 and iwl3945 driver. nm-applet crashes the first time it launches, then will not show up anytime afterwards. Reverted back to nm 0.65 fine.

Confirmed.

Also, the menu entry Edit Connections does nothing for me.

After all upgrades and nm 0.7 installation I am writing this post from my wireless card AR5418 using wpa-2 on MacBook 2.1 amd64 2.6.24-4 R7.

1. Using nm-0.7 I choose wpa-2 and typed my passwphrase.
2. I checked /etc/networh/interfaces and everything was ok
3. Re-open nm-0.7 and all settings was still there registered. On nm-0.6 all settings didn't get registered after closing it.
4. Testing with dinamically dhcp could not connect to the network.
5. Change to static dhcp typing my IP address, netmask and gateway could finally be connected to the wireless network.

Note.: No crashes noticeable with nm-0.7 on my system.

I don't see this behaviour (iwl3945). After a reboot, nm-applet found my card, then segfaulted. After restarting nm-applet it asked for my WPA2 passphrase, and from then on has worked exactly as NM 0.65.

I have the same problems that Mike mentioned.

Working fine here too. Network manager showed up after I did "/etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart".

I use WPA. lshw output:
