I believe that in the section "General buggy or missing functions in GNOME
Shell network
applet<http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F15_bugs#networkmanager_sh...
the text could be expanded.
«
----------------- EXISTING SECTION -----------------
GNOME Shell features an integrated NetworkManager configuration interface,
provided by an applet in the top panel and a configuration interface in
System Settings. However, as of Fedora 15 Beta, these tools have not yet
achieved feature parity with the configuration interface from GNOME 2,
provided by the old *nm-applet*. Some features are still missing and there
are known bugs with others. Major ones will be listed individually here, but
as a general principle, if you encounter problems or missing features trying
to configure your network using the GNOME 3 applet and System Settings
interface, you can run the standalone nm-connection-editor tool, which makes
all the operations not yet implemented in the GNOME 3 interface available.
You can launch nm-connection-editor from a console, from the alt-f2 Run
dialog, or from the overview (type *nm-connection-editor* or search for an
entry named *Network Connections*).
GNOME 3's fallback mode uses the old nm-applet, and is not subject to this
issue.
----------------- ADDED SECTION - minimal -----------------
If you wish, you may use the old nm-applet from GNOME 3's fallback mode on
GNOME Shell by running the following command as root:
# mv /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/status/network.js
/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/status/network.disabled
You may need to re-run this command after a GNOME Shell upgrade.
NOTE: nm-applet does not integrate well with GNOME Shell experience.
----------------- ADDED SECTION - expanded -----------------
Using the old nm-applet will fix the following issues:
- nm-applet will now remember 3G connections created on another sessions
- modem-manager will no longer require to be restarted after inserting
certain 3G dongles in order to function
- and some more issues.
