Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: net-tools
I couldn't select two packages when filing this bug. I wanted to select
net-tools and network-manager.
I found two instances where ifconfig(8) doesn't notify NetworkManager.
DHCP discovery isn't done during the initialization period, but is done
in the background by NetworkManager. This means there is a race
condition between network manager and ifconfig(8)
e.g. after i start ubuntu, login and open a terminal if i type "ifconfig
eth0 <address>" it is reset by NetworkManager a couple minutes later
(When DHCP discovery fails).
also, afaict i never configured DHCP discovery.
The second instance is after i disconnect a network cable, Network
Manager doesn't notice i set an address using ifconfig(8) and brutally
resets it (while my interfaces file is empty and afaict the
NetworkManager config is too).
** Affects: net-tools (Ubuntu)
