Weird behavior of knetworkmanager under Lenny
I used to manualy configure my network interfaces like this>
Code:
# The loopback network interface Code:
# The loopback network interface However since I let knetworkmanager control my network connections, it acts in weird ways. For example sometimes it completly refuses to connect to my primary network with 'mySSID'. It says 'Unable to connect to mySSID' and it automaticly tries other sites (of other people in the building :> ), and successfuly connects to their sites. This behavior is completely random. I don't know where to start, I didn't find any good guide for network-manager under Debian, all in all, isn't wifi connection one of most obvious functionality that OS should meet? from my point of view it seems to be very poorly implemented. |
Perhaps you have encryption in your wireless network where as the neighbors don't. There is documentation worth reading in /usr/share/doc/network-manager etc.

Why are the highlighted entries in /etc/network/interfaces file commented out?

yeah, I did read the documentation and all the stuff. Actually, this explains why I have 'interfaces' file set-up that way>
/usr/share/doc/network-manager/README.debian> Only devices that are *not* listed in /etc/network/interfaces or which have been configured "auto" and "dhcp" (with no other options) are managed by NM edit: btw, there is no encryption on my wifi network, I'm quiet sure about it |
