Public bug reported: Binary package hint: network-manager
My /etc/network/interfaces says: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto tun0 iface tun0 inet static address 10.3.2.123 netmask 255.255.255.0 Note *no* eth0 in there. Starting up n-m while tun0 is up causes it to bring up eth0, which has no cable whatsoever connected to it: $ ip route 169.254.0.0/16 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 169.254.9.97 default dev eth0 scope link metric 1000 $ ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:F0:92:EE:6A UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:5 Base address:0x8800 $ ** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- n-m gets confused about static interfaces https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/113769 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
