This bug is now a year old but I was just bit by this. Had a DHCP problem on my new Ubuntu install so like a good GUI-boy I went to the Network config and made sure dhcp was configured for eth0. Big mistake. That modified /etc/network/interfaces. I then spent an hour figuring out how NetworkManag

Very well, this is a feature, not a bug. I very strongly suggest that NetworkManager should be patched to produce some useful output in this case, something to syslog to the effect of "I see some interfaced but I am ignoring them because auto isn't set" would have been extraordinarily useful. I a

Niran, you have a static configuration for eth0. Is this your primary network interface? It should be ignored by network-manager, the other interfaces should be managed by it. NabLa, you *only* have statically configured interfaces, so it is correct that network-manager ignores them all. -- Netw
