Package: network-manager
Version: 0.6.6-2
Severity: normal
Example 3 in the documentation at
/usr/share/doc/network-manager/README.Debian says:
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
-> This device is *not* managed by NM because it is not set to "auto".
To test this:
I run:
/etc/init.d/network-manager stop
/etc/init.d/networking stop
/etc/init.d/networking start
wlan0 does not come up (ifconfig | grep wlan0 shows nothing)
Then if I run
/etc/init.d/network-manager start
wlan0 does come up (ifconfig | grep wlan0 shows something).
So either the documentation is wrong or it is a bug.
This may be related to bug #408333

Seems to work fine now.
A device with
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
will cause nm to mark it as unmanaged (if managed=false) and ifconfig | grep
wlan0 yields nothing
