If the DHCP server in the network goes down for some reason, NetworkManager marks the connection invalid once DHCP request times out: Nov 8 10:59:19 lempo NetworkManager[975]: <warn> (eth0): DHCPv4 request timed out. Nov 8 10:59:19 lempo NetworkManager[975]: <info> (eth0): canceled DHCP transaction, DHCP client pid 6586 Nov 8 10:59:19 lempo NetworkManager[975]: <info> Activation (eth0) Stage 4 of 5 (IP4 Configure Timeout) scheduled...

Nov 8 10:59:19 lempo NetworkManager[975]: <info> Activation (eth0) Stage 4 of 5 (IP4 Configure Timeout) complete.

Nov 8 10:59:19 lempo NetworkManager[975]: <info> Activation (eth0) Stage 5 of 5 (IP Configure Commit) failed (no IP configuration found) Nov 8 10:59:19 lempo NetworkManager[975]: <info> (eth0): device state change: 7 -> 9 (reason 5) Nov 8 10:59:19 lempo NetworkManager[975]: <info> Marking connection 'Auto eth0' invalid. Nov 8 10:59:19 lempo NetworkManager[975]: <warn> Activation (eth0) failed. Nov 8 10:59:19 lempo NetworkManager[975]: <info> Activation (eth0) Stage 5 of 5 (IP Configure Commit) complete. Nov 8 10:59:19 lempo NetworkManager[975]: <info> (eth0): device state change: 9 -> 3 (reason 0) Nov 8 10:59:19 lempo NetworkManager[975]: <info> (eth0): deactivating device (reason: 0). If I now unplug and replug the network cable (a common fix for network problems), NetworkManager does not try to get a new IP address via DHCP: Nov 8 11:02:05 lempo NetworkManager[975]: <info> (eth0): carrier now OFF (device state 3) Nov 8 11:02:05 lempo NetworkManager[975]: <info> (eth0): device state change: 3 -> 2 (reason 40) Nov 8 11:02:05 lempo NetworkManager[975]: <info> (eth0): deactivating device (reason: 40). Nov 8 11:02:07 lempo NetworkManager[975]: <info> (eth0): carrier now ON (device state 2) Nov 8 11:02:07 lempo NetworkManager[975]: <info> (eth0): device state change: 2 -> 3 (reason 40) Rather, I must log on to my computer, click on the nm-applet and select Auto eth0. This is highly inconvenient if I'm out of office and would like to do something remotely. Otherwise I could just ask my colleague to replug the cable. --- Architecture: amd64 CRDA: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 IfupdownConfig: auto lo iface lo inet loopback IpRoute: 130.233.174.128/27 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 130.233.174.133 metric 1 192.168.122.0/24 dev virbr0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.122.1 169.254.0.0/16 dev eth0 scope link metric 1000 default via 130.233.174.129 dev eth0 proto static IwConfig: lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. virbr0 no wireless extensions.
