Setting up Wifi - Connection on boot with networkmanager and kde 4
Hi,
i am using kdemod-unstable at the moment (4.2.70) and i am trying to set up a connection system-wide, so that networkmanager can connect to my wifi without a DE needed....
Problem is, that in current state networkmanager-plasmoid is not capable of setting up such connections. I think I have to do it in a way by hand, but dunno really know how to do this.
I found my set up connections in .kde4/share/networkmanager/connections/ folder with very cryptic names starting with "{/..."
I tryed to copy one of these connections to /etc/Networkmanager/system-connections/ but that does not change anything....
The rest of my networkmanager setup, including hal workarounds, is based on the wiki.
Hope somebody has an idea

Re: Setting up Wifi - Connection on boot with networkmanager and kde 4
A lot of Arch users, including myself, use netcfg2. It starts the network connection on boot as a daemon.

Re: Setting up Wifi - Connection on boot with networkmanager and kde 4
there is also netcfggui in in aur which is a qt based frontend for netcfg that allows for network scans and such, if you don't want to do this from the commandline.

Re: Setting up Wifi - Connection on boot with networkmanager and kde 4
Thanx, I know and i have it set up, too....
But networkmanager has some positive points, esepecially the dbus interface...
Next kde generation will work really nice together with it and will detect if network is up and down...
So there will be no more endless loading symbols etc....

root /home/solid #Maybe it has something to do with "Apr 23 15:01:05 archbox NetworkManager: <WARN> connection_get_settings_cb(): connection_get_settings_cb: Invalid connection: 'NMSettingWireless' / 'ssid' invalid: 1 "
but ssid should be correct... it is generated by networkmanager-applet I think!
