Setting unmanaged-devices=none in {BASE}usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/10 -globally-managed-devices.conf worked for me in getting NetworkManager to manage the ethernet port, though I don't know if that messes anything else up. :^) This was for a Ubuntu 16.10 hybrid USB build. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1638842 Title: network-manager does not manage ethernet and bluetooth interfaces when Ubuntu 16.10 is installed using chroot/netboot method Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Hello, I installed Ubuntu 16.10 using a chroot. I use network-manager to manage connections. My system is up-to-date (so I use network-manager 1.2.4-0ubuntu1). Wifi works perfectly but I cannot connect to wired networks and using my phone's Bluetooth connection. Corresponding devices are said to be unmanaged by network-manager. nmcli dev outputs: DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION enp1s0 ethernet unmanaged -- wlp2s0 wifi disconnected -- 6C:9B:02:2C:EE:2C bt unmanaged -- hfp/org/bluez/hci0/dev_6C_9B_02_2C_EE_2C gsm unmanaged -- lo loopback unmanaged -- The following command has no effect: sudo nmcli dev set enp1s0 managed yes I can connect to a wired connection by doing: ifconfig enp1s0 up dhclient enp1s0 There is nothing in the file /etc/network/interfaces. Everything works perfectly if I downgrade network-manager to this version: network-manager_1.2.2-0ubuntu0.16.04.3_amd64.deb (http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial-updates/amd64/network- manager/download). I had to install libreadline6 and downgrade nplan to meet dependencies. I don't know what to join to this bug report so please ask in case anything is needed.
