This seems to be a late incarnation of http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=530024 Indeed, my setup I like this:
~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface auto eth0 #iface eth0 inet dhcp ~$ cat /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf # This file is installed into /etc/NetworkManager, and is loaded by # NetworkManager by default. To override, specify: '--config file' # during NM startup. This can be done by appending to DAEMON_OPTS in # the file: # # /etc/default/NetworkManager # [main] plugins=ifupdown,keyfile [ifupdown] managed=false I remember to have configured eth0 in interfaces, to give the machine an IP w/o needing to be logged in. Something here must have been broken. Why does the old way through interfaces not work anymore? ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #530024 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=530024 -- Regression: NetworkManager stopped managing wired ethernet eth0 LAN https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/578012 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
