http://forums.fedoraforum.org – system-config-network 1.5.99 the network configuration gui you get to via the panel (system>administration>network) has some issues. first and most annoying to me, you are unable to delete any new devices you create here. second, when you change a device setting here and save the device gets whacked out of both the network device control gui (system>administration>network device control which is also a gui for system-config-network) and also the gui for network manager you access via the network icon - in short these three do not track together at all, currently I have two connections in one gui, five connections in another gui (the ones I can't delete) and none in the third gui (which being the device gui I would presume should have an entry for each device?). third and only a minor issue to me, when you make a change to a device then decide you do not want to keep it you are unable to exit the gui by using 'quit' (it asks you to save and if you say no it will not close the gui - you can use the 'x' as a circuitous method but that still seems like a bug to me. so... since I am clearly doing this all wrong to get it so mucked up, what is the secret? how can I get it cleaned up properly?

I have recently done a clean install of F18 including the MATE desktop which, as a fairly basic user, I find quite easy to use - I DID NOT install the gnome desktop.

In the Fedora documentation Chapter 5 discusses Network Configuration - both the Network Administration Tool and the system-config-network command - as being the method to configure network interfaces as well as managing DNS settin

I just build a new computer with an Intel DP55WB desktop board which includes an integrated 82578DC network adapter. I've installed Fedora 11 but it is unable to detect my network adapter in any of the system configuration apps. ifconfig returns nothing but loop, ifup eth0 fails and says no device detected.

Greetings,

I have installed F17 with Gnome 3 desktop and all updates. My desktop sits behind a router running dd-wrt which handles all connections to my isp and provides a static ip to my desktop. I decided to remove network manager and simply use system-config-network-gui to setup my connection. My desktop config isn't that complicated... it's just dhcp with everything handled at the router.

I want to set up a mesh network using batman-adv, but network manager keeps taking control of the second adapter... I need to be able to selectively tell network manager not to manage one device.

Is this possible.

The devices are present but not properly configured. I suggest you run system-config-network-tui to configure the network. If it is not installed, then use the [c6-media] repo defined in /... [by pschaff]

Hi! I just updated Fed 16 this morning, and I noticed now that there is no longer a network icon in the top bar. If I go to System settings/Network I get 'the network service is not compatible with this version'

How do I get out of this one?? I can't connect to reinstall Network Manager.

How can I get the internet connections up and running manually? What is wrong with this version.

Hi all,

Just thought I would post up my experience/problems/fix as a few people seem to have been having the same problems.

Using Ubuntu 9.10 on laptop.

My 3 Quad port network adapters can be recognised when I write the 'ifconfig' command, but they all seem to be in 'Device not ready' state when I click on the networking tab at the toolbar (please see pictures below).

At the 'System Setting' they all seem to be recognised but again, their state doesn't change when I plug a network cable into them.

Could anybody advise if there is a solution to t
