gnome-network-manager

Hi Everybody

I just tried to play a little with gnome-network-manager from AUR, first of all the normal network manager was missing a few files, but I managed to find them(http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/networkmanager/networkmanager/).

But when i start up gnome, it is shown fine in the Status Area, and shows all the networks, but it won't connect to any...
When connecting to an unencrypted network it says it is waiting for the network, when connecting to an encrypted network, it is waiting for the key to be verified.

My assumption is, that it is waiting for DHCP, in both cases.

If I use wifi-radar it gets an IP perfectly, also if I use dhclient or dhpcd it works fine.

Any suggestions?

I expect that is because you only downloaded the PKGBUILD, and not the tarball. As with all AUR packages, every file required for the build is included in the tarball.

networkmanager is in [testing], get it from there instead

I tried to use the one from testing, along with the gnome GUI from testing, but with no luck...

As you can see here, it tells me it is waiting fr the key, http://gallery.timmy.dk/Screenshots/gno … anager.png

But in the consle, iwconfig says I'm already connected...

So I'm pretty sure there something wrong with the dhcp
