da.tiger

I am connecting to the net using wvdial, and a few programs dont detect it.. how do i fix this >

da.tiger

found it myself, just disable the network manager

It's also possible to get empathy working again without disabling network manager:-

Code:

gconf-editor

Then go into:
apps --> empathy

Then uncheck the box "use_conn"

Close the gconf-editor, then run empathy as usual

Thanks. Works like a charm.
