Comment 1 Thierry Vignaud 2012-04-23 17:11:47 CEST

Looks like conflict between drakconnect & NetworkManager

Comment 2 Denis Prost 2012-04-23 17:19:54 CEST

just tell me if there is some test I can perform to confirm this.

Comment 3 Manuel Hiebel 2012-04-24 00:55:35 CEST

you can *attach* your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 ?

Comment 4 Denis Prost 2012-04-24 08:24:47 CEST

Comment 5 Colin Guthrie 2012-04-24 10:29:59 CEST

You seem to have NM_CONTROLLED=yes in there... did you tick the box in MMC to "allow network Manager to control this connection"? If so you should maybe untick it?

Comment 6 Denis Prost 2012-04-24 18:51:36 CEST

Yes, I unticked it and now the connection works, thanks !
I'm only wondering what might have change from Mageia 1 to Mageia 2, because I used to tick it also on Mageia 1 and it worked like this.
Anyway, it is fixed for me so I'm marking this bug as resolved.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED

Mageia 1 often didn't care about this checkbox. In Mageia 2 this checkbox got powers ;P
