Package: network-manager
Version: 0.9.0-2
Severity: important

NetworkManager was just installed as a Gnome dependency and it didn't
correctly migrate settings from /etc/network/interfaces. The file before
the package was installed:

auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp

And after:

auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
#NetworkManager#iface eth0 inet dhcp

The problem is that now networking is not available during booting which
is required for NFS-mounted home directories and LDAP user accounts.

Logging in as root on the console, removing the #NetworkManager# comment
and rebooting seems to fix things.

Is this the correct approach (I've seen NetworkManager tell applications
that they should be operating in offline mode in the past)? Is there a
way to prevent NetworkManager from doing this before it's installed (I'd
hate to go round all systems in our network to manually fix each and
every one)?

Thanks.

It didn't bring up networking at all but I've found it was the result of
some left-overs from a previous run-in with NetworkManager that I had. I
had put exit 0 in /etc/default/NetworkManager. Everything seems to be
working now.

Thanks for your quick response and sorry for the noise.
