Hi, I'm using Kubuntu 12.04 (NetworkManager 0.9.4.0-0ubuntu4.1). I have Ethernet link connected to LAN all the time (eth0) and want to use my Android phone from time to time (usb0) for direct Internet access.
I have created two custom connections for both links for better connection compatibility with each other. Also I have bound each connection to a MAC address, so each device got its own settings. The problem is: my phone assigns new MAC address to its tethering device (usb0) on every reboot. So I have to update phone connection settings each time. To automate things I've created udev rule that fires on phone attach and updates MAC address in connection file. This works mostly except the first time. Looks like there is a race conditions and NetworkManager didn't notice connection file update. In result, it cannot match new phone MAC address to custom connection and starts automatic connection which does not work as I expect. Can somebody direct me to NetworkManager API that allow me update connection settings before it start choosing connection and configure an attached device? Thanks, Andrey
