--- Begin Message ---Package: network-manager Version: 0.6.4-6 Severity: important When Network Manager is installed on a system with statically configured network interfaces it usually reports the system as being disconnected from the network, either like this: NetworkManager Tool State: disconnected print_devices(): didn't get a reply from NetworkManager. There are no available network devices. if there are no other interfaces or by reporting an idle interface as the only interface. This causes serious problems for other tools attempting to use Network Manager's link state reporting to perform actions - the information coming out of Network Manager can only be trusted if Network Manager is in use and the system has a supported configuration. I guess the ideal solution would be for Network Manager to have a full and complete understanding of all the possible network configuration methods and accurately reflect this status to other applications. That's probably wishful thinking, though. Simpler a solution, like having the init script disable the daemon when an unsupported configuration is found in /etc/network/interfaces would probably avoid the problems other software encounters. Severity important due to the integration issues (these are proving particularly painful for NIS). -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-powerpc Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages network-manager depends on: ii adduser 3.102 Add and remove users and groups ii dbus 1.0.2-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii dhcdbd 2.0-3 D-Bus interface to the ISC DHCP cl ii hal 0.5.8.1-6.1 Hardware Abstraction Layer ii ifupdown 0.6.8 high level tools to configure netw ii iproute 20061002-4 Professional tools to control the ii iputils-arping 3:20020927-6 Tool to send ICMP echo requests to ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbus-1-3 1.0.2-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.71-3 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libgcrypt11 1.2.3-2 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libglib2.0-0 2.12.6-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgpg-error0 1.4-2 library for common error values an ii libhal1 0.5.8.1-6.1 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libiw28 28-1 Wireless tools - library ii libnl1-pre6 1.0~pre6-4 Library for dealing with netlink s ii libnm-util0 0.6.4-6 network management framework (shar ii lsb-base 3.1-23.1 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii wpasupplicant 0.5.5-4 Client support for WPA and WPA2 (I network-manager recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
