You might got confused by the fact bringing up a bridge profile does not automatically bring up its slaves. Basically, you need to connect all slaves (bridge master will be connected as a dependency). But, as you have found there is a new property to influence the behaviour (connection.autoconnect-slaves). When you set it to '1' you can activate bridge and its slaves will be activated too. > Does NM rely on the iproute2 package in any way? > NetworkManager does not use iproute2 package, but NETLINK interface to the kernel. > Below is the output of what I configured with 'nm-connection-editor'. > Why is that output even localized?! > What is the issue with localization/no-localization?
