Description:
After the latest update, networkmanager stopped working. The problem: networkmanager will detect and show available wireless networks, but you cannot connect to any of them. When you try to connect (in Gnome) a notification appears immediately afterwards saying "connection disconnected" or something along those lines, so it doesn't seem that networkmanager is attempting to connect at all. Probably a typo in the code. hehe. Here's two forum threads that were started because of this bug: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=865648 https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=109413 Additional info: * package version(s): networkmanager 0.8.3-0.20101130 Steps to reproduce: In my case, i performed a system upgrade, then the next time a booted up the computer networkmanager wasn't working. I've been connecting manually. |

Did`nt tested that with custom ethernet profiles.
The logs shows:

It seems there's some GUI missing to handle the auth information.
I'm going to try networkmanager-git from AUR.
I've noticed that I didn't have the network-manager-applet installed (not required when installing gnome/gnome-extra). While the gnome interface somehow had an networkmanager interface it still needed the nm-connection-editor which is installed in the network-manager-applet package from [extra].
Now, I'm currently unable to further test if this is really working as the company wireless authentication is currently down, but the auth information GUI now appears and the applet does indicate to be trying to connect to the wireless.
So, please add the dependency to network-manager-applet as part of gnome/networkmanager's installation.
At home I can now connect to my WPA2-PSK wireless network.
