Hi,
On the LiveCD I enable the services NetworkManager and NetworkManagerDispatcher. Maybe
there are not enabled, if you do a normal installation, check out as root
# chkconfig --list | grep NetworkManager
do enable them run:
# chkconfig NetworkManager on
# chkconfig NetworkManagerDispatcher on
reboot or do:
# service NetworkManager start
# service NetworkManagerDispatcher start
Further the nm-applet (NetworkManager applet) has to be started. If you using gnome it is
started per default (I guess). In KDE run as normal user
# nm-applet &
Maybe you want also to start the gnome-keyring-daemon in KDE, which stores the keys of the
nm-applet:
# export `gnome-keyring-daemon`
Hope this helps,
Urs
