I do not think so: LC_ALL=C nmcli dev DEVICE TYPE STATE eth1 802-3-ethernet unmanaged eth0 802-3-ethernet unmanaged > [I am a bit embarassed to ask such basic questions, but I am unable > to find a comprehensive NM documentation, and reading its sources is > a bit resource consuming]. http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManager/SystemSettings > Another basic question no 1: how can I tell NM to keep its hands off > a particular interface ? This does not look like "another" question to me; rather the exact same "unmanaged" question. > I tried adding (in the [main] section of nm-system-settings.conf) This file has been recently renamed to NetworkManager.conf (in 0.8?). The syntax of "unmanaged-devices=..." has also changed since NM does not use HAL any more. It's probably simpler to "unmanage" a device using system-config-network. _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
