Description Dan Winship 2015-08-07 20:38:58 UTC

nm-applet tends to get cluttered up with virbr devices these days, and I think gnome-shell's approach (only showing ethernet, wifi, bluetooth, and mobile) is probably the right thing for GUIs. I really doubt anyone is using nm-applet to manage their team devices...

pushed danw/non-enterprisey-bgo753369 (to network-manager-applet)

Comment 2 Dan Williams 2015-08-12 20:42:53 UTC

LGTM

Comment 3 Dan Winship 2015-08-13 13:54:54 UTC

Really? I was expecting a *little* bit of a fight :-)

OK for nma-1-0 as well?

Comment 4 Dan Winship 2015-08-14 13:40:54 UTC

Pushed to master, not to nma-1-0 after discussion on IRC

Am I the only one using VLANs on my laptop computer? I need VLANs to connect to both my local network with my wifi devices and a campus-wide LAN. I really liked that nm-applet supported this unusual configuration.

For me, this change makes nm-applet next-to-useless since it doesn't show anything useful when the only connected to VLANs. Maybe add an option (gsettings?) to re-add VLANs, etc?
