Package: network-manager Version: 0.7.1-1 Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software
Since the update to NetworkManager 0.7 all hell broke loose. This is my /etc/network/interfaces: ====================================================================== # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto planets iface planets inet static address 192.168.28.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 auto vmnet iface vmnet inet static address 192.168.29.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 vde2-switch - # vde2-switch -t vmnet ====================================================================== This is /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf: ====================================================================== [main] plugins=ifupdown,keyfile [ifupdown] managed=false ====================================================================== With this settings, NetworkManager stopped the interface "planets". This caused my vpn-setup (tinc) to fail ("breaks unrelated software"). It then went ahead to configure "eth0" with the settings for "planets". My expectation was that "eth0" would be configured using DHCP, like in previous versions of NetworkManager. nm-applet shows two connections: "Ifupdown (vmnet)" and "Ifupdown (planets)". Adding a per-user connection "eth0(dhcp)", which configures "eth0" using DHCP works, but NetworkManager switches back to "Ifupdown (planets)" as soon as I logout. Adding "eth0(dhcp)" system-wide ("Available to all users") does not work: when I click "Apply..." nothing happens and the window "Editing eth0(dhcp)" stays open. Finally a question: is there a way to restore the old behaviour of having at max one connection held open by NetworkManager? Trying to configure both "eth0" and "wlan0" will usually break my internet connection for me, depending on whether wired or wireless network is up first.
