I have that file too but it's not related to what we're trying to do. > I can see the same thing on this other machine still on Lenny, where > I am writing this from: no /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf > file either. > > the man page for NetworkManager does not mention any such conf file. > I did not dare modifying /etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager.conf > > But I tested creating an /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf, > with only > > **************************** > > [main] > plugins=ifupdown,keyfile > > [ifupdown] > managed=false > ****************************** I wrote managed=true in my message above.

Still, I tested removing any mention of eth0, to no avail. My /e/n/i file has eth0. That's why we are changing NetworkManager.conf, to get it to cooperate with /e/n/i. If you don't want to define eth0 in /e/n/i, then you can try Andrei's suggestion. (If you do, you might have to set specifics of your wired interface using the NetworkManager applet.) However, your /e/n/i file below defines eth0! > Below is my 'etc/network/interfaces' file : > > ************************************* > > # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system > # and how to activate them.
