Package: network-manager Version: 1.42.2-2 Severity: normal Hello there,
the loopback interface seems no longer ignored by NetworkManager by default; $ LANG=C nmcli | grep -A5 ^lo lo: connected (externally) to lo "lo" loopback (unknown), 00:00:00:00:00:00, sw, mtu 65536 inet4 127.0.0.1/8 inet6 ::1/128 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/commit/e8618f03d7d8735946a82de8ce4257dd92328b20 This is apparently a new feature of NM 1.42, but I'm arguing that in most usual cases, having 'lo' appear (as it appears in KDE's Plasma NM applet for example) is quite confusing to most users who will never customize anything with regards to the 'lo' interface. I'd propose that src:network-manager adds a conffile with that content: [keyfile] unmanaged-devices=interface-name:lo This would let the loopback interface be ignored, while allowing experts needing this to get the new 'lo' managed interface.
