Network manager problem?
by Mantra from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6DY82)
Hi,
I have a wifi extender, which I've configured, and I'm connecting to it by an ethernet cable.
Network manager wouldn't connect to it at all, it wasn't even trying to connect. I've managed to get the network working, by doing "sudo dhclient eno1" in a terminal - and it works. But network manager thinks I'm connected to a wifi network, with an essid when I hover over it for a tooltip - or not connected to any network at all, if I try to bring up the "connection information".
It would be nice to have network manger reflect the correct network information, although I'm a bit reluctant to change anything, because the network is actually working ok.
(It definitely isn't connecting by wifi - I've unplugged the wireless adaptor! ifconfig and iwconfig seem to show the correct information)
Has anyone seen this before?
