 |
|
Hi,
does anyone know where does the networkmanager keeps its configuration?
I am interested in those networks that you enter yourself - with hidden ESSID and encryption. Because I had it working fine, but now the key is changed and it automatically tries to connect with the old key, and I cannot change it - first it fails and it asks me for the key again, then the key is correct (I can see it in the iwconfig) but it doesn't connect.
So I would like to completely delete config for that specific AP... I tried to unmerge it and delete everything I could find for networkmanager but on next emerge it is still there.... :/
Any suggestions?

Have a look at:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Gnome_Wifi#NetworkManager
And also you can issue the command
| Code: |
equery files NetworkManager
|
This will give you the list of files related to the package. It is likely that you find the config file you are looking for under /etc
P.D. equery is in the gentoolkit package.

Hi,
I managed to repair it... I checked the dmesg and I had some problems with dbus configuration. Also I noticed that NetworkManager was complaining about mDNSresponder....:
| Code: | Nov 9 16:19:46 laptop NetworkManager: <WARN> nm_spawn_process(): nm_spawn_process('/etc/init.d/mDNSResponder start'): could not spawn process. (Failed to execute child process "/etc/init.d/mDNSResponder" (No such file or directory))
|
So I emerged it and it works great now. I dont't know if it works because of dbus or mDNS, but my money is on dbus.
The key was still wrong but afterwards it asked me for new one and it connected. Before it also asked me to change the key but it couldn't connect.
Thanks and regards |
