problems with iproute/NetworkManager ?

[Tom London]

Running targeted/enforcing, latest rawhide.

The latest iproute package 'breaks' my network: my interface ends up
with an IP address but no routes.

Installing the previous iproute package (iproute-2.6.13-3) and
reselecting 'Wired' in the NetworkManager applet seems to fix this.

The only obvious messages are:
Sep 14 13:36:45 localhost NetworkManager: nm_ip4_config_get_broadcast:
assertion `config != NULL' failed
Sep 14 13:36:45 localhost NetworkManager: nm_ip4_config_get_netmask:
assertion `config != NULL' failed

Anyone else seeing this?

I'm getting this with iproute-2.6.11-1on my Thinkpad. I have to grep the
router out of /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient-eth1.leases and add manually with
route.

My eth1 is my wireless, btw.

This got fixed, if I remember correctly, in an update to NetworkManager.

The problem was that /sbin/ip changed: it used to accept commands like
'ip address'; and update to iproute changed this to only accept
commands like 'ip addr'.

see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=168335

Version of NetworkManager packages you are running?  Need to update them?
