The network-manager connectivity config bug is bug 997200 and I restarted the ubuntu-devel discussion yesterday.
Therefore, I'm closing the network-manager task here. ** No longer affects: network-manager (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/991481 Title: Constant dns traffic for daisy.ubuntu.com Status in Whoopsie: Confirmed Status in glib2.0 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in whoopsie package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Watching GNetworkMonitor's network-changed signal causes constant DNS traffic. Andy Whitcroft points out that the NETLINK_ROUTE socket set up by GNetworkMonitor will fire events every time an ARP entry appears or disappears. Unfortunately, we currently need an additional layer of connectivity checking because checking NetworkManager's state for CONNECTED_GLOBAL is not enough to know whether we're really online. Ubuntu does not yet use the NetworkManager connectivity check [1]. The likely solution to this bug is a replacement for GNetworkMonitor in whoopsie. 1: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~daisy- pluckers/whoopsie/trunk/view/head:/src/connectivity.c#L326 Original report follows: Every few seconds, I see a dns query for daisy.ubuntu.com. After removing whoopsie, the traffic goes away.
