Here is my setup: You posted your /etc/network/interfaces , but NM doesn't read configurations from that file. First you need to decide if you need/want NM. IMO it is not really useful for a desktop with a single connection, but you didn't give more details. If you go this way best is to completely purge all NM related packages and go with the config posted by Lisi.

Setting up networking on eth0
Hi I am using KDE on 6.0.0, knetworkmanager uses auto eth0 to get a DHCP address. I have added a wired connection for a static address, but each time i reboot it uses the auto eth0 and i want a static address. Here is my setup: # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface allow-hotplug eth0 #NetworkManager#iface eth0 inet dhcp Cheers Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
