More weird now, on one of the laptops, he seems to not be +able to parse /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf, for absolutely no reason. + +I set aside the other issues of the tool (the 'progress message' that is +in reality a timeout that gives you an error message while it is still +connecting... and other stuff). + +The other main issue I see si that Drakxnet is coded in Perl and uses a +lot of perl scripts, like the drakxtools. This makes it hard to +maintain, and to improve. + +If I posted this mail, it is because my experience is seriously downed +my this network tool that is absolutely not polished. It works, but you +need to understand it's way of working... which is not normal. + +I know it works fine for several people. Personally, I am often having +issues because it's disconnects on it's own, and no longer sees any +networks when it should. Then it has difficulty reconnecting. + +Windows, Fedora and Ubuntu's wireless tools work absolutely smoothly at +my school. And now, other people testing Mageia as school are having the +same issues I have. This is frustrating and I can assure you these +home-made network tools have to be improved and fixed. + +If you want to, I can attempt to make a list of the isses and +incoherencies I find, although they are not hard to see. But as I +mentionned earlier, this is a tool that is hard to maintain, and I +cannot learn perl right now. This means someone else who knows pearl and +the tool may have to put his hands in it, and he may not have the time for. + +If NetworkManager is easier to maintain and works fine, then I think it +can be a better solution. Just offering or trying to find solutions, +because this tool seriously does not work properly here. + +My two cents, + +Thomas. +</PRE> + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="007154.html">[Mageia-dev] Drakxnet, drakroam and Draknetcenter : let's fix it or throw it. +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="007159.html">[Mageia-dev] Drakxnet, drakroam and Draknetcenter : let's fix it or throw it. +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#7157">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#7157">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#7157">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#7157">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
