I use usbnet to connect to my PDA. Before NM 0.6.4-6ubuntu3 the usb0 device was ignored:
auto usb0 iface usb0 inet static address 192.168.0.200 netmask 255.255.255.0 However now when I plug in my PDA, NM disables the interface. If I click on the applet I can select the usbnet device, but that then proceeds to drop the wifi connection to the outside world. Considering I had just done the usbnet connection so that I could get to the outside world from my PDA, that is useless. How can I get NM to ignore this usb0 device? -- network-manager should not set offline mode when it manages no device https://launchpad.net/bugs/82335 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
