NetworkManager

When i using ubuntu my networkmanager had three tabs... and on the third one i always needed to change the dns ip for my vodafoneES usb modem to work...

Now on arch my network manager only show 2 tabs, why is that?

Where to find the conf file to change the proprieties manual?

Re: NetworkManager

You have to stop it first. You can't run two instances.

Re: NetworkManager

I'm on a ubuntu machine right now, looking at the networkmanager settings i find that it uses a a plugin that i don't have on my arch machine... "ifupdown"

nm-system-settings.conf
[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile

[ifupdown]
managed=false

And the tab that i don't have on my arch machine is called "IPv4 Settings"...

I don't have "ifupdown" on my Arch machine, either, but the "IPv4 Settings" tab is available.

Re: NetworkManager

The wiki suggests running ck-launch-session before running nm-applet.
That's just what I do and I have "Ipv4 Settings" tab

Re: NetworkManager

I do have everything, no ck thing needed and so..., but I use NM 0.7 for a long time now, like a year or so, which I build myself from git using borrowed pkgbuilds from aur with some modifications of my own...
I have binaries too, if You're interested I can share them.

Re: NetworkManager

Hmm, uninstall wpa_supplicant and all networkmanager packages, unpack the archive I sent You and install files in the order I wrote in the email...
I actually wrote exact commands you need...
