I used the output of "nmcli dev list iface eth0" to populate the blanks in the gnome-control-center network panel: DNS section - entered dns ip Routes section - entered ip address, netmask, gateway ip ..and finally things work. I noticed that this changed "/usr/local/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/Wired Connection 1" [802-3-ethernet] mac-address=24:B6:FD:FA:E1:60 [connection] id=Wired connection 1 uuid=ed68afcc-88f2-45a4-b920-67a8a929eb4b type=802-3-ethernet timestamp=1396795087 [ipv6] method=ignore [ipv4] method=auto dns=10.180.1.10; route1=10.180.20.123/24,10.180.20.1,0 ..by adding the last two entries. What I don't understand is why networkmanager cannot do this automatically - is it because the default "Wired Connection 1" has spaces in the name (?!) or is it some sort of dbus/polkit/linux-pam permissions issue? _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
