I have this new laptop of mine configured so that ifupdown manages eth0 (due to
what looks to be #665439).

iface eth0 inet dhcp

Dan Williams, the upstream maintainer, was so kind to help me debug this.

So, the issue here seems to be, that you are changing the mac address of the interface, and the ifupdown plugin doesn't listen to mac address changes and updates the unmanaged specs for that.

As a workaround for now, Dan suggests the following:

For now the user can put the changed MAC into /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf in the unmanaged-devices=mac:<hwaddr> in the [keyfile] section too and in 0.9.10 ifupdown should probably get converted to use interface-name:eth0 instead


Cheers,
Michael
