#   - prefix an entry with a ! to disable it
#
# Network profiles are found in /etc/network-profiles

# End of file

Re: networkmanager failed dhcp on wifi

Hello,

Same problem here, when using NetworkManager for a wifi connection... The "association" with my wifi network is ok, but it seems not to send any dhcp request. I just need to use dhclient in command line but it's not really user-friendly (I mean, I need to open a console, log as root and then ask for the dhcp... )
