Using a clean install of Hardy Heron, I have tested this. It is still an issue but not exactly like in gutsy. nm-applet is still unaware of an IP address it did not request (since dhclient requested it). In Hardy instead of showing 0.0.0.0 in the "Connection information" window, the nmapplet menu greys out "Connection information" all together.
What I expect: When I get an IP address, no matter by what means, weather static ip, dhcp using using Network manager or dhclient from the shell, I expect NetworkManager to actually manage the network and report current valid info in the "Connection Information" window accessible through nm-applet. The icon should change as dhclient gets an IP address, just like it does when NetworkManager gets an IP address. I should not have to use dhclient because that should be included by default in NetworkManager attempting to get an IP address. -- nm-applet DHCP request takes a lot of time, and gives no address https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196710 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
