[Bug 802782] Re: Please add NetworkManager option not to auto-enable new network devices
I'm seeing this on a fleet of laptops which all have Fast Ethernet, 802.11a/g/n and GSM HSPA interfaces. If the WLAN is active and configured as the default route when the GSM HSPA WWAN is activated the default route is changed to be the WWAN. I wonder if NM could accept a user-specified (or automatically assigned) metric for each interface without requiring a static route to be specified? If the user then chooses to disconnect from an existing network or the connection drops through being out of range the next most senior link would be selected. The manual configuration I use for default routes is: $ ip route ls default via 10.254.251.1 dev eth0 proto static metric 1 default via 10.254.251.1 dev wlan0 proto static metric 9 default via 10.50.163.2 dev wwan0 proto static metric 19 10.0.3.0/24 dev lxcbr0 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.3.1 10.50.163.0/26 dev wwan0 proto kernel scope link src 10.50.163.32 metric 7 10.254.1.0/24 dev virbr0 proto kernel scope link src 10.254.1.1 10.254.251.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 10.254.251.50 metric 1 10.254.251.0/24 dev wlan0 proto kernel scope link src 10.254.251.60 metric 9 Notice how the metric assigned by NM to wwan0's link (7) is more senior than wlan0 (9). I think that could do with changing as a default so that 802.11a/g takes preference behind wired Ethernet. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/802782 Title: Please add NetworkManager option not to auto-enable new network devices To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/802782/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 802782] Re: Please add NetworkManager option not to auto-enable new network devices
For the original request about a fleet of machines, the facility to disable this is already there: 1) set no-auto-default=* in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf 2) preconfigure a wired connection for the existing wired interface, locked on MAC address future versions of NetworkManager will allow you to lock on interface name, but be aware that the interface won't always be 'eth0' so some amount of machine-specific configuration will always be required here. If #1 and #2 are done, then no other device will get the automatic DHCP connection. In the case of all other USB ethernet devices (including android devices) there's simply no way to distinguish between an Android device and an actual usb-ethernet device with an RJ-45 connector on the end. You can either go about tagging every single Android device into a blacklist for this. Or we could start a whitelist of usb-ethernet kernel drivers or something. That would include asix, rndis, catc, etc. Half of drivers/net/usb/ is a candidate for whitelisting. The big question: are there any/many usb-ethernet dongles that use plain cdc-ether ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/802782 Title: Please add NetworkManager option not to auto-enable new network devices To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/802782/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 802782] Re: Please add NetworkManager option not to auto-enable new network devices
For the Android case, in the newest version, it requires manually enabling thethering so that use case for this option should have disappeared. At least it should not be set as default, as it creates extra steps for those using the phone as described. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/802782 Title: Please add NetworkManager option not to auto-enable new network devices To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/802782/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 802782] Re: Please add NetworkManager option not to auto-enable new network devices
IIRC this was discussed on IRC and because of the driving force behind this particular feature request we would like to see this in the raring release and possibly backported into Precise/Quantal. It would be appreciated if this feature request would stay on your radar during the Raring development cycle. Thank you!

[Bug 802782] Re: Please add NetworkManager option not to auto-enable new network devices
Why is this targetted to 13.04 beta 1? Should I get that the priority for this has changed? What are the specific use cases that changed the importance for this bug? Perhaps it would be possible to special-case USB net devices and avoid them autoconnecting, forcing a user to click on a connection to enable it, but I'll need to look at the code with more attention to figure this one out. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/802782 Title: Please add NetworkManager option not to auto-enable new network devices To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/802782/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
