How to: Install Network Manager 0.7 SVN on Hardy

[werries]

i used this because i wanted the snapshot for the wireless key index. that didnt even work, and then it also broke wired connection, and adding one doesnt seem to do anything. so im not sure what to do here.

how would i go about reverting?

Add the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list and REMOVE the lines for my PPA:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/network-manager/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/network-manager/ubuntu hardy main

Do an apt-get update and then use the following command to switch to this version:

sudo apt-get install network-manager=0.7~~svn20080628t003601+eni2-0ubuntu0~pre1 libnm-glib0=0.7~~svn20080628t003601+eni2-0ubuntu0~pre1 libnm-util0=0.7~~svn20080628t003601+eni2-0ubuntu0~pre1 network-manager-gnome=0.7~~svn20080626t183232-0ubuntu0~pre1

Once that is done you can do updates as normal to use this version

If you can get online you can remove my PPA, do an apt-get update and do:

sudo apt-get install network-manager=0.6.6-0ubuntu5 libnm-glib0=0.6.6-0ubuntu5 libnm-util0=0.6.6-0ubuntu5 network-manager-gnome=0.6.6-0ubuntu5

I have installed this new version, now I have a a problem, that I guess is related to permissions:
I can not edit the connections properties.

If I go to (mines is in spanish)
>Edit Conections>WiFi>(select one)>Edit>
The accept buttons is grayed out, no matter what modification I made, I can not save them

See screenshot.

I can confirm this, OK button is grayed. I think this thread is no more the right place to discuss, unless Alexander Sack begins participate...

For me the button stays grey until you set the SSID to something valid. Did you do that?

Whatever I write as SSID, button stays greyed...

I found the matter: upgrading to new packages emptied certificate settings on Wireless Security tab. Now the button isn't more greyed, but clicking on it gives an error:

 ** (nm-connection-editor:19168): WARNING **: <WARN>  update(): update: Invalid connection: 'NMSetting8021x' / 'client-cert' invalid: 2

This sounds a bit like a setting-migration issue which I dont want to rule out at this point. have you tried to create a new connection?
