All WAS working over a wlan interface (wlan0) on Ubuntu 9.04 Once I upgraded to 9.10, the network became unstable, disconnected most of the time. I have seen the logs at /var/log/syslog and the problems SEEMS to be that NetworkManager is NOT ignoring wlan0 interface as it should because it is being listed in /etc/network/interfaces and should be managed manually ONLY. The connection is unstable because NetworkManager is competing with /etc/init.d/networking to manage the device. Once I remove the config at /etc/network/interfaces, NetworkManager has the device for itself and manages to give me stable connections. How can I force NetworkManager TO IGNORE wlan0? Shoud I deinstall it completelly? [This is not the first time NetworkManager fails on me when I do not seek the default config... is it really worth it?] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/489357/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
