NetworkManager should honor the settings in your /etc/sysconfig/network- scripts/ifcfg-<your interface> if it attempts to activate that interface. For example, if you /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg- eth0 file looks like: IPV6INIT=no ONBOOT=yes USERCTL=no PEERDNS=yes GATEWAY=1.1.1.0 TYPE=Ethernet DEVICE=eth5 BOOTPROTO=none NETMASK=255.255.255.0 IPADDR=1.1.1.1 then NM will set the eth0 interface up with IP Addr 1.1.1.1, netmask 255.255.255.0, and add a default route to 1.1.1.0. If it doesn't its a bug and I'll fix it. Unfortunately, system-config-network seems to do the /etc/resolv.conf stuff via profiles, so you only get 1 /etc/resolv.conf for each profile, which doesn't really work well with NetworkManager at all. So that's the only part that won't work I'm afraid. Suggestions on how to fix it would be most welcome :) The only constraint is that NM doesn't store system-wide preferences at this time, and won't for a while, so we'll have to find some method of detecting the current "network profile" that system-config-network uses, and then do some magic like copying over the correct resolv.conf file for that profile when you're using Static IP. I think that would work. Dan _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
