That's right, it's explaing in http://wiki.debian.org/NetworkManager I have "allow-hotplug eth0" in /etc/network/interfaces, so the wired network is still brought up if I boot into single user mode. Having "managed=true" in /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf means Network Manager will do the right thing and update the network status when plugging and unplugging my laptop. It's possible to both have your cake and eat it. :-) The new Network Manager version also seems to not drop the network connections any more when I log out or shutdown either. This means any network filesystems I have mounted don't have their connection whipped away from under them, which was causing long timeout delays during shutdown. :-) -- Tixy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
