Re: networkmanager/knetworkmanager Fedora 12 no go / Work around

Well folks, I'm completely bewildered! I have the latest updated Fedora
12 on my laptop, but for the life of me I cannot get knetworkmanager to
work. All I get is a message saying the network is not managed. I can
disable network manager, (stop the daemon), and use the laptop that way,
but a working network manager would be preferable.

Also Services, (service management), no longer asks for super user
password when started from the menu, hence I have to start it from a
terminal for it to work properly.

Something in the configuration has become badly borked!!! The problem is
the same for KDE,(preferred), and Gnome.

Anyone out there with any ideas?

Well I have it working of sorts by creating system network
configurations and using the Gnome network manager applet. This enables
me to switch between the system configurations. Unfortunately trying to
create configurations from the applet fails to work.

It seems that some of the system settings configuration apps need to run
as a super user to take effect properly. Hopefully these problems will
be fixed in some updates in a few weeks.

All said and done, I will not be upgrading my PC to Fedora 12 from 11,
as my experience with my laptop suggests to me it appears to be always
close to, if not actually somewhat, flaky in places. Respect to those
folks maintaining the repositories, but based on my experience the
testing before release was below par and the results will put folks off
using Fedora.
