network-manager 0.9 needed

[Linus_W]

gnome3 needs network-manager 0.9 in order to get the gnome3 applet for network and bluetooth

[JC Hulce (soaringsky)]

Are you saying that bluetooth is not currently included in the applet?

We don't package network-manager at the UGR project - we use the GNOME 3 team's builds. Their current build is 0.8.4, and we'll just have to wait for 0.9

I am not certain if the bluetooth applet uses networkmanager but on 2 laptops with the gnome3 team ppa and ugr ppa, the bluetooth applet don't show up

The bluetooth icon is not handled by Network Manager. I checked the buildlog of gnome-shell in the ppa, I found that it is compiling without bluetooth support (check https://launchpadlibrarian.net/71225025/buildlog_ubuntu-natty-i386.gnome-shell_3.0.1-0ubuntu1~build1_BUILDING.txt.gz, search for 'bluetooth support'). So to integrate the network status icon, NM 0.9 is needed, and to get the bluetooth icon, the shell needs to be compiled with bluetooth support enabled.

We should ask for bluetooth support.

We are using network manager 0.8.9 in dev channel now - that's as close as we will get to 0.9 until the GNOME 3 team does it.

Oneiric will have NM 0.9
