Talk:NetworkManager

I noticed a strange bug: When you also want to use vpn and compile the networkmanager-vpnc ebuild without gnome flag it is not usable. Buttons like "add" under the vpn connections tab are greyed out. I noticed that important files like nm-vpnc-auth-dialog are only built with gnome flag enabled. Perhaps this should be mentioned in this article under "Problems" section or something like that.

None of this configuration to enabled System level connections works in networkmanager-0.8. See http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=322027

For me, the configuration procedure outlined in the ArchWiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NetworkManager#Automatically_connect_on_boot worked to enable system level connections through nm-applet, therefore allowing networkmanager-0.8-r1 to connect before user login.
