Package: network-manager Version: 0.9.4.0-1 Severity: important Usertags: pca.it-communication
Hi there! Now that I know how to use NetworkManager via the CLI (see #641902 and #637769), I configured my Debian sid accordingly. However, there is a problem with the parsing of /etc/network/interfaces, here is (was) mine: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them.

I guess the problem is that usb0 is not treated as a new interface, distinct from eth0. I do not know how this bug could be solved: according to the documentation (shipped by the network-manager-dev package in /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/NetworkManager/ref-settings.html), however, there is no option to specify an interface to which a connection applies (except for a vlan stanza). While it is possible to do that for its mac-address (but only for infiniband, wimax, 802-3-ethernet and 802-11-wireless stanzas), this does not reflect the flexibility of /etc/network/interfaces. Of all the bugs already present in the Debian BTS, I do not think that mine has already been reported, at least it does not seem to be: - #433734 (wlan0=$NAME parsing) - #498931 (wording in /u/s/d/n-m/README.Debian, and probably fixed) - #508383 (forcing n-m to manage interfaces, and probably fixed) - #528095 (general /e/n/i parser) - #617691 (multiple interfaces with static addresses) - #644631 (IPv4 and IPv6, and probably fixed) However, it could be related to: - #527965 (virtual interfaces) - #606268 (d-i configuration in /e/n/i) The last one seems to be the real problem, especially: <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=606268#153> However, it seems that commenting or removing eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces is not enough: if the ifupdown plugin is enabled (managed=true), then whenever I plug a cable NetworkManager treats eth0 as usb0.
