Hi, I've installed SL6 on my notebook and I was very surprised finding that networkmanager doesn't work properly.
nm-applet is already running (I can see this process), but there is no nm-applet icon on gnome-panel. "connect automatically" option in nm-connection-editor doesn't change anything too. also I can't find my ethernet and wi-fi cards in nm-connection-editor. to connect to internet I use huawei e1550, so I installed usb_modeswitch, usb_modeswitch_data and tcl, also I changed the mode of my modem to "modem only" with AT^U2DIAG=0 command. I don't want to change distro, please help me to get normal networkmanager and activate my modem. |

After some searching I found this website offering a Linux driver for Huawei E1550 Modems. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately it doesn't  I'm sure now the problem is in NetworkManager. I installed Mobile Partner and my modem worked with it just perfect. It even connected to internet! But no one program (Firefox, Elinks) could do the same. I still don't have nm-applet icon on gnome-panel and I think the system "doesn't see" this connection for some reason. It's as if NetworkManager hadn't been installed (but it is and the nm-applet process is already run). Also when I turn off the system there is a message "/etc/sysconfig/network does not exist". What's that? |

All I can suggest is reporting this to the SL mailinglist.
The SL devs are on it and they may have a clue how to solve this. It could be a bug (they will know if it is) and can advise to file a bugreport. -------------------- What is SL? - Forum Rules - Info on 3rd Party Repos - How to post images - How to post large text / config files

I tried CentOS 6 and had the same problem. I think it's something in default network configuration. Something doesn't allow NetworkManager to start.

Well, I solved it.
# chkconfig network off # chkconfig wpa_supplicant off # chkconfig NetworkManager on # touch /etc/sysconfig/network # reboot That's all. Now NetworkManager works well, nm-applet icon is in notification area and I can create my mobile broadband connection. |

I remember that one from EL5 where NetworkManager wasn't used as default
 Thanks for the update  -------------------- What is SL? - Forum Rules - Info on 3rd Party Repos - How to post images - How to post large text / config files
