Package: network-manager
Version: 0.6.3-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

This bug is related to bug #355478 discussion but as it raises some problem
with guessnet I open a new one.

Contrary to Mickael (bug #355478) I think network-manager shouldn't conflict
with ifplugd, at least not until it can handle static (non-dhcp) 
configurations and various profiles for these configurations.

You made network-manager ignore interfaces defined in /etc/network/interfaces,
that's great. ;-) The problem is that your "detection mechanism" doesn't
handle configurations based on guessnet.

When a wired connexion uses guessnet, it's defined in /e/n/interfaces
by:

        mapping eth0
                script /usr/sbin/guessnet-ifupdown
                map default: default
                [...]

        iface map1 [...]
        
        iface map2 [...]
        
        iface default [...]
        

Thus, there's no "iface eth0..." and network-manager takes in charge
this connection. Could you adapt the package to also ignore interfaces
"mapped" by guessnet?

Note that on my computer I added a "iface eth0..." line and now the
network-manager ifplugd/guessnet cooperation works fine.

Sincerely,

Yannick
