Package: network-manager
Version: 0.6.6-2
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
Sometimes, the network cable gets unplugged unwanted (or a WiFi connection
hiccups, or a switch is rebooted, ...) whereupon nm proceeds to deconfigure
the network interface. Obviously it will re-establish connection as soon
as the signal is back.
BUT: downloads, VPN, ... often/always fail as soon as the IP is going away.
Which can be extremely annoying.
Proposed fix: a grace period) 30 seconds? Optional? Tunable?) between the
network connection physically goes away and the network interface being
downed. And if connection comes back in that time,
* assume that it is the same connection
* check (trivial for WiFi, probably dhcp renew for DHCP, possibly stuff
like "ARP ping to the gateway" for static networks)
* if the check fails, reconfigure the interface.
So we get
* slightly longer delays in applications after network is disconnected
versus
* much improved behaviour on short network outages.
cheers

Marking this as fixed.
NM now provides an option "ignore-carrier" which can be set to a
particular device or a "*" wild card.
The network-manager package ships a
/usr/share/doc/network-manager/examples/server.conf configuration
snippet with that option which can be copied into
/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/.
I think this should sufficiently address this issue, so closing the bug
report.
