[Bug 103532] Re: NetworkManager can't find any interfaces

2008-04-16 Thread carlivar
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

Hi, Brian Murray [2007-04-16 22:31 -]: I believe you are missing 'auto ath0' and 'auto eth1' from your '/etc/network/interfaces' file. Confirmed. n-m will ignore non-auto interfaces on purpose, since not doing so would act against your manual configuration. -- NetworkManager can't find

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. --
