[SOLVED] NetworkManager and UMTS/3G

I have a problem with NetworkManager and its Applet (the GNOME one)
In Ubuntu 10.04 it works fine with NM and in Archlinux it works flawless with wvdial but not with NetworkManager
It just tells me that i dont have any UMTS/3G devices (which is just nonsense)
Is that a bug in NetworkManager or am i doing something wrong?
//Edit: Oh damm i just forget the optional dependency "modemmanager"... solved

Your edit got me one step further, now I see that device also in networkmanager here finally. Thank you!
If someone tries to click onto "configure" for "mobile broadband" and its greyed out: Click "configure" for wired, leave that window open and just click "configure" in the main networkmanager window again. Then the network connections box from gnome 2 comes up and allows to configure 3G entries. (not a gnome bug, but a feature;)

[SOLVED] NetworkManager and DNS

Hello,
Is there any way to set and make permanent DNS adress with NetworkManager? I'd like to use OpenDNS so I edited /etc/resolv.conf and it works till next system restart. What am I supposed to do to make DNS adress permanent?:/
EDIT: Something gone wrong.
EDIT: Solved, it's new NetworkManager 0.7.

My all time favorite way to do this is to put your isp (or OpenDNS addresses, etc) into your router via it's own configuration page. I've never had to mess around with resolv.conf, dhclient etc this way for over 5 years and let the box pick it up from your router.
After making the change in the router, restart networking, or reboot.

[SOLVED] Networkmanager and special ascii characters kde issue

cannot connect to ssid with french characters like 'é' and other chars in networkmanager kde
it work fine in gnome but in kde the networkmanager dont recognize non english letters
have any one a way to use Hex value instead of ascii in ssid
Last edited by jambi (2014-07-14 00:03:43)

You need to configure the profile manually in
/etc//etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/
then create a file named
(null) 1
[connection]
id=(null) 1
type=802-11-wireless
[802-11-wireless]
ssid="SSID IN HEX"
mode=infrastructure
mac-address=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
security=802-11-wireless-security
[802-11-wireless-security]
key-mgmt='wireless security'
auth-alg=open
psk=password
you can convert from ascii to hex using terminal
echo 'ssid' | xxd -u -p
connectioneditor in kde need more handling functions to be added . i hope in next release they build a robust connectioneditor

[SOLVED] NetworkManager dumped core

Symptoms: WiFi randomly drops out.
More specifically: NetworkManager core dumps and network-manager-applet stops (Gnome 3.8)
If anyone has suggestions, I'd be grateful. I'm at a loss, other than disabling NetworkManager and enabling netctl. Details follow below.
Thanks so much!

I'm marking this topic SOLVED, though more accurately, I should say that I've worked around the problem.
I achieved a stable wireless connection by changing APs, which leads me to believe that the underlying problem is upstream. Specifically, the problem is most likely that NetworkManager is not compatible with all APs. In my case, when I connect to a Netgear NDR3700v1 running dd-wrt, NetworkManager and nn-applet crashed randomly and frequently. However, after changing to an Apple Airport AP, I achieved a stable connection without crashes.
Bottomline: if you experience wireless connection troubles with NetworkManager and nm-applet, the problem may be that NetworkManager is not "compatible" with your AP hardware.

Completely normal. I'd be asking the question "was I hacked" if I found cron NOT running as root.
I'd say your computer just crashed.

[SOLVED] NetworkManager not letting me connect to the internet.

Hello everyone,
I normally connect to my WiFi using wifi-menu each start-up, but since I'm coming from Ubuntu in this laptop, and want the NetworkManager integration in GNOME, as well as automatically connecting to my preferred network on startup, I decided to install NetworkManager and network-manager-applet, as well as networkmanager-openvpn and networkmanager-pptp for vpn support.
Unfortunately, enabling the NetworkManager service and starting the NetworkManager service (first disabling the netctl@wlo1\x2dCasa.service and wpa_supplicant.service) disconnects me from WiFi, and connecting to my network asks for the password (WPA2 Personal), after 50 seconds it asks for the password again, and goes on forever, unless one presses "Cancel" and it disconnects.
I'm new to Arch Linux (not to Linux in general, as I actually used Ubuntu since 2009, and have some command-line experience), so if this seems like an easy task, or a rookie mistake, please bear with me.
Is any more info required? Log files?
-Jonathan
Last edited by Jonathan Precise (2015-04-04 13:36:19)

Yes, you are indeed right Xabre, I stopped netctl@wlo1\x2dCasa.service, but not wpa_supplicant.service, and enabled that last one. Now NetworkManager runs perfect!
EDIT: I'm imagining that's how you mark this thread as solved? Or is there another method?

[SOLVED]NetworkManager won't work since updating to KDE 4.3.4

Hello there,
I'm running Arch64 on Qosmio X300 notebook. I have just updated to KDE 4.3.4 and since the update the NetworkManager won't connect to my wifi (I haven't tried wired yet). I use following packages for NetworkManager and KNetworkManager applet
kdeplasma-applets-networkmanager 1047027-1
networkmanager 0.7.2-1
There seems to be nothing strange in the daemons.log, but the KNMgr tray icon keeps saying "Networking information not available" and when I click it I get "Network Management Disabled" instead of the usual menu. I still can configure network manually and wicd is also working fine.
I remember putting my notebook to suspend-to-disk by mistake instead of shutting it down right after the update, so that's when it might have gone crazy. I tried reinstalling NetworkManager and the KDE applet and googling around a bit, but nothing has helped so far...

[SOLVED] NetworkManager "not authorized to control networking" error

I'm installing arch with XFCE on an eeepc-1005ha. My wired ethernet works fine, both with dhcpcd eth0 and the NetworkManager (which connects automatically on boot). I'm following the instructions from this link: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ne … nager#XFCE
I installed the NetworkManager and the xfce notify package. From the configuration setting part of the linked page, I disabled my internet connections with these commands:
ip link set down eth0
ip link set down wlan0
I added NetworkManager to the DAEMONS array, after dbus, per the instructions. I still get a "not authorized to control networking" error when I select a wireless network, so I followed the troubleshooting instructions. This is my .xinitrc file:
#!/bin/sh
# ~/.xinitrc
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
[ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
done
unset f
fi
# exec gnome-session
# exec startkde
exec startxfce4 --with-ck-launch
#exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch startxfce4
# ...or the Window Manager of your choice
The exec line that's not commented out comes from the XFCE configuration instructions. The troubleshooting instructions for NetworkManager say to add
exec ck-launch-session wm
to .xinitrc, where wm is whatever window manager I'm using. Should
exec ck-launch-session startxfce4
or
exec dbus-launch ck-launch-session startxfce4
work? Neither of those options, nor the commented exec line in .xinitrc work.
Finally, I followed the NetworkManager troubleshooting instructions and added my user to the wheel group, using this command:
gpasswd -a myusername wheel
After a reboot, everything else still works (wired ethernet, xfce4, etc.) but the error upon connecting to wireless is still the same.
Any ideas? My user (username: myusername) does have full sudo privileges for this hostname.

Both my flatmate and I are having this problem too, I am using openbox with consolekit and he is using awesome, again with consolekit.
We both use slim, me through inittab and he through the slim daemon.
By the way, it used to work, and has for around a year until now.

[SOLVED] NetworkManager kills wireless speed

When I connect my work wifi network using NetworkManager, the speed unstable -- with it being less than 1KB/s more often than not. The connection speed seems to be fine when I disable NetworkManager and use a simple iwconfig essid key command and dhcpcd. My laptop is dual-boot, and the speed is fine in Windows as well.
NetworkManager seems to be setting my resolv.conf correctly.
Signal strength is not an issue.
Wireless chip is Intel 6000 series AGN using iwlagn driver.
Rather baffling problem to me. Ideas?

I don't have access to router configuration at my job, unfortunately.
I did try manually configuring my IP, DNS and Gateway for the connection, though. When I did that, the connection speed seemed more stable -- never cutting out completely. Tx aggregation didn't get enabled in dmesg. However, wireless speed was still only 1-1.5Mbps in speedtests whereas I get a full 20Mbps when I use the iwconfig+dhcpcd method.
EDIT: It also seemed to have attached to a much farther access point for the network than normal when I did that way, so I just manually configured the BSSID as well and tried to run a speedtest. I got a nice speed initially, (15Mbps) but it cut the connection quickly and wouldn't even run the upload test. So I looked at dmesg and Tx aggregation was enabled on the connection again.

Can't connect to mobile broadband with NetworkManager and Huawei E1550

Hi,
I'm trying to connect to mobile broadband internet (3G) using my Huawei E1550 HSDPA USB Stick and NetworkManager but it won't work.
At first, the LED on the usb device seems to indicate that the connection is established, but immediately afterwards it starts blinking again (which shows that no connection is established).
nm-applet then tells me that I've been disconnected (although the connection was never established).
I installed usb_modeswitch and modemmanager and enabled modemmanager with the systemctl command.
The ID of the device is 12d1:140c, which is supposed to be right after the modeswitch.
Here is the relevant log:

EDIT: Wow, got it working using wvdial. Would prefer to use NetworkManager and ModemManager, however. Any idea why it isn't working using those?

I would like to get data analysis for solving statistic and making graphs, but this function is not in add-in. How should I do? I also set up microsoft office for mac 2011.

Microsoft didn't include that with the 2011 version.
There is a third-party application that substitutes for the add-in: http://www.analystsoft.com/en/products/statplusmac/
They also have a limited, free version.

[Solved]knetworkmanager and Wicd needs two or more connects to work...

Hi, this is my first topic. I'm not that new in Linux, but new in Arch.
So, previously I ran Ubuntu on my laptop, Acer Extensa 5220. Wlan worked very well with WICD. With Arch its a little bit more difficult to set up a working auto-connected configuration.
When wlan works, it works perfetly with nice speed and no break-downs, disconnections or what ever. But the way to get it started is confusing.
I have tried with knetworkmanager and wicd. The problem is, when I start up, I get no connection on default, I always have to choose my wlan and connect to it. First, I got a connection, but breaks down several seconds after. The second connect works most of the time, than it works perfectly, as mentioned above. But sometimes I need 3-4 tries to get it working.
The daemons I'm running are networkmanager and dhcbd for knetworkmanager, and wicd and network for wicd. The others are bashed out, according to what method I'm trying. I tried every possible set-up, nothing.
The interfaces are bashed out also, but I tried also both ways. Even with eth1="dhcp" (yes, wlan is eth1, maybe the reason? how can i change this?) and without.
What more infos do you need? As I said, when it goes, it goes perfectly. Only the start is tricky.
Edit: netcfg works, but only for a few seconds, too. Grrrrr.
Thanks.
Greetings

the network script is a basic networking script. knetworkmanager and wicd are both front-ends, they write to the same files the network script writes to. all 3 run independently of each other.
This is mostly hardware. There is however, a possibility that the driver setup is not optimal in your Arch system, like it was in Ubuntu, so the connection strength is fluctuating when acquiring the IP and such.
Is this broadcom? eth1 is fine and normal.
