[Desktop-packages] [Bug 391040] Re: When eth0 is unmanaged, system connections for other NICs aren't displayed nor used
AFAIK this is expected behavior: interfaces managed outside NetworkManager (e.g. in /etc/network/interfaces) are ignored and considered up (but nothing else is done); unless the value of the key managed (under [ifupdown]) is set to true in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf. Its value defaults to false. Now whether that works well with dnsmasq is an entirely different matter, but if there are issues with that it should be filed as a separate bug. Since it's fixed in all supported Ubuntu releases (this behavior predates dnsmasq being enabled by NM), I'm closing this a Fix Released. ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/391040 Title: When eth0 is unmanaged, system connections for other NICs aren't displayed nor used Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: network-manager If eth0 is assigned a static IP in /etc/network/interfaces, then NM doesn't display nor use any system-connections defined for *other* NICs.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 391040] Re: When eth0 is unmanaged, system connections for other NICs aren't displayed nor used
Mathieu I think you misunderstood the issue. In 10.04, if I had this in my /etc/network/interfaces: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp then network-manager didn't show system connections for *eth1*. Not eth0, eth1. In other words, it was impossible to manage eth0 with /etc/network/interfaces and eth1 with network-manager. But I just tested in 12.04 and it appears to have been fixed (the test case I just mentioned works fine without editing any nm configuration files at all), so I'm leaving it fix-released. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/391040 Title: When eth0 is unmanaged, system connections for other NICs aren't displayed nor used Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: network-manager If eth0 is assigned a static IP in /etc/network/interfaces, then NM doesn't display nor use any system-connections defined for *other* NICs.
