K Network Manager problem [SOLVED]

K network manager detects networks both wireless and wired. However when you attempt to connect to them it spends a long time trying to get ip configuration and then settles on its own address. My router is setup as a dhcp server and all other computers connect to it without problem.

Thanks

There was a problem with dhcp 3.1.0 and NetworkManager. I believe you need 3.0.6 for NetworkManager to work correctly with KNetworkmanager.

dhcp 3.1.0 just recently went stable, so you will have to manually mask it to test/verify if this is the case.

Merging dhcp-3.0.3-r9 solved it.

Thanks

For what it's worth I had to move my /etc/wpa_supplicant directory so that
it wouldn't read the existing WPA stuff.

I could see my wireless networks, but couldn't connect as it would keep prompting
me for the key. Upon moving /etc/wpa_supplicant (anywhere but /etc)
it connected first time.

Yay

I'm a huge fan of NetworkManager as I'm getting very lazy these days...

Gentoo for teh win :wink:
