network management help needed
Ok, I just installed Arch, and I'm really liking it, except for the fact that I can't get NM(NetworkManager) to work. I need NM to connect to my Wi-Fi network. I connects to the wired one when I plug it in. When I run nm-applet, it says "Network Manager is not running"

Re: network management help needed
Add dhcdbd and networkmanager (in that order) to your daemons array in rc.conf.

Re: network management help needed
also add your username to the network group
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: network management help needed
NetworkManager is a daemon, you must enable at start up. Then, if the applet does not show up, you can run nm-applet.

Re: network management help needed
Describe "doesnt work" - those words don't really say anything useful at all.

Re: network management help needed
Make sure with your interfaces you put a '!' in front of the one you want NM to manage
INTERFACES=(lo eth0 !wlan0)

Re: network management help needed
You should disable the "network" daemon altogether if you plan on using network manager. In the daemons array just put a "!" in front of network
