NetworkManager : edit connections --> no access to eth0
When I go to NetworkManager > Edit Connections > Wired I see 1 interface 'eth0'. I am unable to hit the edit-button to, for example, assign a fixed IP. The button is greyed out...
When I go to the Wireless-tab I see the SSID of my wireless network and I can hit the edit-button to edit the connection like changing the connection name etc... So how about the eth0-interface ?! Why is this connection 'locked' ? |
Are you launching the app as root?
|
Use the network sysconfig dialog or edit the ifcfg-eth0 config files.

I am not running NetworkManager as root but in ifcfg-eth0 I have the following :
Code:
USERCTL=yes |
I just check on Fedora 11, when run system-config-network, it prompt me with a dialog to enter root password from there I was able to make all the configurations I need. While you in system-config-network, and hit edit, disable Managed by network manager. I'll give you some pics as a reference, hold on.
I'm not using my eth0, I'm using wireless all the the time. I just installed the NetworkManager command line utility, cnetworkmanager and do my connections from there. For eth0, I do them in system-config-network. However, nm-applet should had allowed to manage you connections from there. Don't know why... |
