Public bug reported: I have an Ubuntu 17.10 box with WiFi and Ethernet devices. The ethernet device is not connected at all. The WiFi is connected to WiFi network.
The problem is, the connection drops itself after a while. I did some research and find out, the NM creates a new connection for the ethernet device, assuming Avahi IP for that connection, actually making this device a default route in a routing table. Thus, all outgoing packets are going through a non-connected ethernet device instead of gateway in WiFi network. See commands output for details. If I delete that default route manually, re-run dhclient to get a new route or disconnect enp9s0 using NM, the internet start working again. ** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "commands_output" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1734745/+attachment/5015325/+files/commands_output -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1734745 Title: NM assumes avahi ip addres and default gw for disconnected device To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1734745/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
