After setting up (using nm-applet or kde control centre module) a wired connection named "eth1" (on /dev/eth0) with 802.1x protocol the connection works (I end up with two wired connections in nm-applet: "eth0" - generic setting with DHCP and "eth1" - with 802.1x to connect to wired eduroam, both profiles using /dev/eth0). The problem arises after computer restart. The "eth1" connection doesn't remember the 802.1x settings. There is also another, thus maybe related problem, that I can't change the name "eth1" to sth else, eg. "wired eduroam". After changing the connection name in nm-applet nothnig happens - the connection is still listed as "eth1". I'm pretty sure that some earlier version of nm experienced the same problem. I submit this bug under net-misc/networkmanager as it doesn't seem to be a problem of nm-applet (as kcm module acts the same way). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use nm-applet to set up an ethernet connection with 802.1x (see http://lapserv.maths.cam.ac.uk/docs/ubuntu1110_eduroam_wired.html). 2. Reboot computer. Actual Results: Settings entered are lost after reboot. Expected Results: Settings are saved and survive system restarts. $ emerge -pv networkmanager net-misc/networkmanager-0.9.6.4 USE="avahi bluetooth connection-sharing (consolekit) dhcpcd gnutls

Try switching to the keyfile plugin for networkmanager settings: set "plugins=keyfile" in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf, and then do "/etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart". (Note that after this, you will need to re-enter all of your connection settings once.)
It's already on: /etc/NetworkManager $ cat NetworkManager.conf [main] plugins=ifnet,keyfile [ifnet] managed=true auto_refresh=false (In reply to comment #1) > Try switching to the keyfile plugin for networkmanager settings: set > "plugins=keyfile" in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf, and then do > "/etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart". > > (Note that after this, you will need to re-enter all of your connection > settings once.)
(In reply to comment #2) > It's already on: > > /etc/NetworkManager $ cat NetworkManager.conf > [main] > plugins=ifnet,keyfile You have both ifnet and keyfile enabled, with ifnet as the default. I am hypothesizing that 802.1x settings might be saved successfully in keyfile format (which receives more testing upstream), but not in ifnet format.
You were right! Thank you. After removing ifnet plugin (changing order didn't help) wired connections started working as expected (they survive reboot and I can even change their names). Unfortunately, as a side effect, I couldn't connect to my WPA2 wifi network with something like this in the logs: Feb 20 18:18:08 [NetworkManager] <info> Config: added 'ssid' value 'XXXX' Feb 20 18:18:08 [NetworkManager] <info> Config: added 'scan_ssid' value '1' Feb 20 18:18:08 [NetworkManager] <info> Config: added 'key_mgmt' value 'WPA-PSK' Feb 20 18:18:08 [NetworkManager] <info> Config: added 'psk' value '<omitted>' Feb 20 18:18:08 [NetworkManager] <info> Activation (wlan0) Stage 2 of 5 (Device Configure) complete.

(I masked some values by XXXX.) Anyways, restoring ifnet (so that ifnet and keyfile are active) helped with wifi and it seems wired connections that I configured with keyfile also work. I'll need to make sure wired conns are managed by ifnet and wifi by keyfile.
Still valid with 0.9.8.2?
(In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #5) > Still valid with 0.9.8.2? Yes. The 802.1x configuration is not saved at all, it is only kept in memory during NM's runtime. Disabling the ifnet plugin solves this problem, along with a huge host of other bugs caused by it. I don't have any problems connecting to wireless without it, either.
Maybe reporting to upstream could help (at least an upstream maintainer helps us with making NM "happier" with Gentoo) -> bugzilla.gnome.org When reported, please post the link here to let us track
