I agree that nm shouldn't overrule interfaces. However, if it is messing with your resolve.conf then aptitude remove network-manager should sort it. I have a bunch of laptops booting straight into dhcp via wlan from /etc/network/interfaces. nm is not installed or needed for a computer which isn't going to leave school. cheers nigel > > Todd > > On Thu, Dec 3, 2009 at 7:52 PM, john <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hi all, >> >> One of my gripes over the last year or so is the increasing complexity >> and abstraction of Ubuntu as regards networking management.
