 Posted: Fri Oct 27, 2006 3:30 pm Post subject: HOWTO: Networkmanager and Knetworkmanager |
 |
|
I have tried to get this apps for days and now it works! Have fun.
This will meaybe help you:
http://gentopia.gentooexperimental.org/wiki/NetworkManager
You'll need ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" in /etc/make.conf or add ~x86 to the packages needed in /etc/portage/package.keywords.
1) Get overlay management apps
2) Add Overlays:
| Code: |
cd /usr/local/portage
# This adds the sabayon overlay#
svn checkout http://svn.sabayonlinux.org/overlay sabayon
# This adds the gentopia overlay#
layman -a gentopia
|
3) configure make.conf
| Code: |
echo "PORTDIR_OVERLAY=\"/usr/local/portage\"" >> /etc/make.conf
echo "PORTDIR_OVERLAY=\"${PORTDIR_OVERLAY} /usr/local/portage/sabayon\"" >> /etc/make.conf
echo "PORTDIR_OVERLAY=\"${PORTDIR_OVERLAY} /usr/portage/local/layman/gentopia\"" >> /etc/make.conf
|
4) install networkmanager
| Code: |
#first unmask >=dev-libs/libnl-1.0_pre6
echo ">=dev-libs/libnl-1.0_pre6" >> /etc/portage/package.unmask
#now install it:
emerge networkmanager
|
5) install knetworkmanager (optional)
WARNING: Do NOT emerge knetworkmanager without networkmanager installed! The dependencies don't work, it would only install the knetworkmanager locales...
| Code: |
emerge knetworkmanager
|
6) Add it to default runlevel
| Code: |
rc-update add NetworkManager default
rc-update del net.eth0
|
7) PAM
| Code: |
mkdir /var/run/NetworkManager
mkdir /var/run/wpa_supplicant
mkdir /var/lib/dhclient
USE="pam_console" emerge pam
echo "session optional pam_console.so" >> /etc/pam.d/login
|
If you are using gdm or xdm, adapt this line:
| Code: |
echo "session optional pam_console.so" >> /etc/pam.d/kdm
|
The following 2 lines are for udev users. If you aren't using udev, please refer to /usr/portage/sys-libs/pam/files/README.pam_console.gz
Note: pam_console_apply is in /usr/sbin not in /sbin like the documentation states
| Code: |
echo "#!/bin/bash" >> /etc/dev.d/default/pam_console.dev
echo "exec /usr/sbin/pam_console_apply" >> /etc/dev.d/default/pam_console.dev
chmod + x >> /etc/dev.d/default/pam_console.dev
|
Add these lines to you /etc/conf.d/net:
| Code: |
# Prefer wpa_supplicant over wireless-tools
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
# It's important that we tell wpa_supplicant which driver we should
# be using as it's not very good at guessing yet
# use the correct card and driver!!!
wpa_supplicant_ath0="-Dmadwifi"
|
Now reboot or /etc/init.d/NetworkManager start
If you /etc/init.d/NetworkManager start, don't forget to /etc/init.d/dbus restart first.

| Code: |
- dev-libs/libnl-1.0_pre6 (masked by: package.mask)
|
It's package masked..you need to add it to /etc/portage/package.unmask |

OK, I've been trying for a while. I always get "No network device found" in Knetworkmanager.
I know networkmanager is started on boot, I have a wired eth0 and a wireless ath0 with all drivers and stuff needed loaded at boot.
Does someone know how to fix this? THX

OK, I got Knetworkmanager to detect my card and even to see my wifi network which is WEP-secured, it can't connect to it...
using iwconfig and dhcpcd I can connect to it without problems... Do you know what to do?

I found this because when I emerged the gentoo version, I recieved an error, which happens to be the same error I receive when I use this version, and hoped that this would solve it. I do not have -gnome and it still requires me to build the mammoth panelapplet.
| Code: | checking for PANEL_APPLET... configure: error: Package requirements (libpanelapplet-2.0) were not met:
No package 'libpanelapplet-2.0' found
|
| Code: | emerge networkmanager -Duvt
>>> --tree implies --pretend... adding --pretend to options.
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N ] net-misc/networkmanager-0.6.4-r1 USE="crypt -debug -doc -gnome" 0 kB [3]
Total size of downloads: 0 kB
Portage overlays:
[1] /usr/portage/local/layman/xeffects
[2] /usr/portage/local/layman/sabayon
[3] /usr/portage/local/layman/gentopia
|
I was just wondering how to avoid this, if possible of course.
also: which knetworkmanager do I use?
| Code: | # emerge knetworkmanager -Duvt
>>> --tree implies --pretend... adding --pretend to options.
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:
Calculating dependencies
!!! The short ebuild name "knetworkmanager" is ambiguous. Please specify
!!! one of the following fully-qualified ebuild names instead:
kde-misc/knetworkmanager
net-misc/knetworkmanager
# find local -maxdepth 4 | grep knetworkmanager
local/layman/sabayon/net-misc/knetworkmanager
local/layman/gentopia/kde-misc/knetworkmanager |

excellent, seems to be better. I just deleted the gentopia overlay considering they contain similar ones, and that one gets past that part
now I get
| Code: |
nm-dhcp-manager.c: In function 'state_to_string':
nm-dhcp-manager.c:620: error: 'req' undeclared (first use in this function)
nm-dhcp-manager.c:620: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
nm-dhcp-manager.c:620: error: for each function it appears in.)
nm-dhcp-manager.c:622: error: 'manager' undeclared (first use in this function)
nm-dhcp-manager.c:636: warning: control reaches end of non-void function
make[3]: *** [libdhcp_manager_la-nm-dhcp-manager.lo] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/networkmanager-0.6.4_pre20070122-r2/work/NetworkManager/src/dhcp-manager'

Since I use dhcpcd and not dhclient, should I change | Code: | | mkdir /var/lib/dhclient |
to | Code: | | mkdir /var/lib/dhcpcd |
? |

Same here, -r2 did the same on me.
Btw. Gentopias ebuild is fubar (atleast on my machine).

How did you get detect your card? I have an ipw2200 card and it is not detected by knetworkmanager.

Some days ago knetworkmanager was added to the xeffects overlay, I'd recommend that over the sabayon overlay, but that's a matter of personal preference.
You'll find a howto here: http://forums.gentoo-xeffects.org/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=405&p=1428
I'm now using it with my ipw3945-card, works like a charm so far. One thing that took me some time to find out, is that you have to compile any CONFIG_IEEE80211 stuff directly in your kernel, ie not as modules. |

| @antares2001: maybe you should use the wext-driver in your wpa_supplicant.conf |

Yeah. In the xeffectrs overlay I have fixed and updated the ebuilds to work correctly with hal/dbus vs. pam at_console.
Feel free to try it out. I will be actively maintaining it there.

Why doesn't kwallet remembers my password? I searched everywhere, can't find the answer. I have kwalletmanager running. I use KNetworkManager 0.1 from x-effects overlay. I can connect successfully to my access point, but I have to retype my SSID and encryption options everytime 
I'm not denying access to KNetworkManager in kwalletmanager.
Anyone know how I can solve this?
Thanks for your time!

Is this the version you are using:
kde-misc/knetworkmanager [1]
Available versions: (**)9999
Cause, I have it working with kwallet.
Did you follow my how to on the xeffects site? Link was posted above...
If you are not using this version, then emerge this one. It contains the fix for kwallet.
If you are using this one, then can you:
| Code: |
grep plugdev /etc/dbus-1/system.d/knetworkmanager.conf
grep at_console /etc/dbus-1/system.d/knetworkmanager.conf
|
And tell me what it returns. If it returns something for at_console, then you need to emerge my build (mine changes this from at_console to plugdev). If it returns plugdev, do you have a group plugdev and are you a member of it? If not, it won't work either.
