Hi, I think this is a bug. NetworkManager is running in initrd. Thereby it already activates the interface. Later, udev wants to rename the interface, but since it's already up, it fails to do so. The result is that udev doesn't indicate that the device is initialized, which causes NM to wait for it (and thus it's unmanaged). It seems there are several potential issues: - why does NetworkManager even run in initrd, if you didn't configure it to do so? - if NM is running in initrd, should it wait for udev to rename the device? - why does udev completely fail in this case? - maybe NM should after a timeout stop waiting for udev, to mitigate this issue. You could look at the logfile to verify that. Enable level=TRACE logging, but most interesting are also the messages from initrd and udev. best, Thomas > > What does that mean and how do I fix it ? > > Is there some other way to persistently activate the interface ? > > /etc/network/interfaces does not exist. > > sean > > cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp* > TYPE=Ethernet > PROXY_METHOD=none > BROWSER_ONLY=no > BOOTPROTO=none > IPADDR=10.10.11.251 > PREFIX=24 > DNS1=10.10.11.251 > DEFROUTE=no > IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=no > IPV6INIT=no > IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes > IPV6_DEFROUTE=yes > IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL=no > IPV6_ADDR_GEN_MODE=stable-privacy > NAME=enp0s20u3 > UUID=bf8aa45c-31e4-403a-9c14-c1a59bf0f2b2 > ONBOOT=yes > DEVICE=enp0s20u3 > > TYPE=Ethernet > PROXY_METHOD=none > BROWSER_ONLY=no > BOOTPROTO=dhcp > DEFROUTE=yes > IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=no > IPV6INIT=yes > IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes > IPV6_DEFROUTE=yes > IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL=no > IPV6_ADDR_GEN_MODE=stable-privacy > NAME=enp1s0 > UUID=a1b089e9-5a13-4df7-8f09-9f54ebc56cea > DEVICE=enp1s0 > ONBOOT=yes > > _______________________________________________ > networkmanager-list mailing list > networkmanager-list@gnome.org > https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list >
