Whether WiFi, wired, 3G, or Bluetooth, NetworkManager allows you to quickly move from one network to another: Once a network has been configured and joined once, it can be detected and re-joined automatically the next time it's available. &lfs77_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &NetworkManager-md5sum; Download size: &NetworkManager-size; Estimated disk space required: &NetworkManager-buildsize; Estimated build time: &NetworkManager-time; NetworkManager Dependencies Required , , , , (or ), and (for GUdev) Recommended , or (client only), , , , (for nmtui), , , and Optional , , , , (built with D-Bus support), libteam, and ModemManager, User Notes: If and are installed, you need to choose Qt4 with source setqt4, before starting. Install NetworkManager by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --localstatedir=/var \ --with-nmtui \ --disable-ppp \ --with-systemdsystemunitdir=no \ --docdir=/usr/share/doc/network-manager-&NetworkManager-version; && make An already active graphical session with bus address is necessary to run the tests. To test the results, issue: make check. Now, as the root user: make install --with-nmtui: This parameter enables build of nmtui. --with-systemdsystemunitdir=no: This parameter is used for sysv init systems. If you use systemd, replace "no" by the proper directory. --disable-ppp: This parameter disables parameteral PPP support in NetworkManager. --enable-gtk-doc: Use this switch if you have installed and wish to build the API manuals. --without-iptables: Use this switch if you don't have Iptables installed. /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf For NetworkManager to work, at least minimal configuration file must be present. Such file is not installed with make install. Issue following command as the root user to create minimal NetworkManager.conf file: cat >> /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf << "EOF" [main] plugins=keyfile EOF You can add dns=none to suppress changes to /etc/resolv.conf. See man 5 NetworkManager.conf for any additional options. To automatically start the NetworkManager daemon when the system is rebooted, install the /etc/rc.d/init.d/networkmanager bootscript from the package.
