Public bug reported:
I set up a br0 (bridge) network on my destop PC in order to allow my
virtual machines via KVM to be directly on my LAN instead of natted.
Below is my /etc/network/interfaces file The problem is that when
logged in to the X session, NetworkManager reports (via D-Bus) that I
have no network connection. Any desktop apps that rely on this D-Bus
message won't connect. Empathy is a big one that fits in this category.
I am forced to assign my eth0 NIC an IP address of 127.0.0.1. This is a
bad practice. NetworkManager needs to either understand bridges or have
an override of some type. Can I simply remove NetworkManager as a work
around? Will the lack of an application producing the network connected
D-Bus messge mean that no app will think I am network connected?
