Network Manager - DSL Configuration (Pardus 2011)

[Ganesh]

Hi,

I was trying to configure DSL connection through Network Manager.
I was able to create the entry using Network Manager-  Edit Connections.
But when I click on the Network Manager Icon in the System Tray It does not sow the DSL Connection Entry.

I did the following:

Right Click on Network Manager Icon in System Tray
Click Edit Connections
Got To DSL Tab
Click ADD
Give a Connection Name
Give User Name & Password and Apply.

What could be the reason?

The reason could be that you find a bug on the beta release of Pardus 2011.

PhiX,

Should i file in a bug report for this?

A bug report would be helpful.  I was doing a search on such issue and it seems it is a common problem with current networkmanager.

I have a common problem with it, too, in that only VPN is selection for connection choice, all others are grey and cannot be clicked on.  I tried running NM, run as: kdesu network-manager, but it would not bring up the GUI. 

Last poster at this thread renamed the connection:

I've also read more than once that NetworkManager works in Gnome desktop, but not so in KDE desktop, at least,  at the moment it does not.  Upstream problem. 

I looked in System Settings>Information Sources>Netowrk Management Back end and there are two more selections, Wicd and Fake Net, but these are not installed or in Pardus repos yet.  I've read some people have better luck with Wicd if they are using a router.  It is all new to me.

Hey great work by the Pardus Team.
Yesterday I raised the bug and the problem is solved today.

Just received an Network Manager Applet update which I installed.

The problem is solved.

Thanks and Keep up the good work.

But there is still one problem.
After installing the update, the DSL connection is shown but when I click on it nothing happens.
No Message (if there was any problem in activating it).

I tried again by recreating it , but it is still the same.

Hi,

I Copied the files under " /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ "  from Linux Mint 10 to the same folder in Pardus 2011 Beta.

The Dsl connection entry is shown in the NetworkManager applet.
On Clicking the Dsl entry, connection is activated.
