Though I unchecked the "Connect Automatically" check box for the Auto eth0(I do not know if this step is necessary, but I do not use dhcp anyways) and checked the "Connect Automatically" box on all my static connections. Worked like a charm for me and I connect and disconnect my Ethernet about 20 times a day. I still agree with the concept of an option allowing the IP Address and routes to persist between carrier events, except maybe the default route. Yes, I realize there are often work around for reasons this would be necessary, but it just seems like a nice thing to have. > -Graham > > _______________________________________________ > NetworkManager-list mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list > >
