You're welcome. I wasn't saying that you should use "ip" to set up an address but to check it. NM will use the ifupdown settings in "/etc/network/interfaces" to bring up and set up an interface (although I'm not sure that it'll know to assign two ip addresses to one interface that way) if you change "managed=false" to "managed=true" in the "[ifupdown]" section of "/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf". But NM won't change the settings in "/etc/network/interfaces". -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
