safe-upgrade ‘ing lenny on MM10
After aptitude safe-upgrade , I’m downgraded to a previous version of NetworkManager, and network-applet-gnome. These don’t work on the MM10 with madwifi.
Luckily, disconnected as I was, I still had the snapshot sources for the two packages in /var/tmp …
I re-configured, rebuilt, ran make install
The lenny NetworkManager stuff installs into /usr/local/sbin, but my version went into /usr/sbin, because I used the following configure line:
./configure --enable-maintainer-mode --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
So, to clean up:
cd /usr/local/sbin mv NetworkManager NetworkManager.dontuse mv NetworkManagerDispatcher NetworkManagerDispatcher.dontuse ln -s /usr/sbin/NetworkManager /usr/sbin/NetworkManagerDispatcher .
Finally, ran restart:
/etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart
and off it goes, connecting. And here I am again! Byeeeeee.
