I tinkered with it a bit more and figured it out. Apparently, I cannot migrate piecemeal. The parent device must be managed by NM before a VLAN on it can be managed. Once that was fixed, everything worked pretty much as expected, with just a few small bugs. I think the most super annoying part is that address cannot be set from the shell, because connections are only created with the default method, dhcp. The nmcli c mod cannot switch two properties at a time. Also, one cannot set method first and then ipv4.addresses, ipv6.addresses (I forgot what happens if you try). So, one must either do the "nmcli c edit xxx" thing, or hand-edit the connection and then "nmcli c reload". Other funny buglet that I remember is that if you create a VLAN using e.g. nmcli c add type Vlan ifname ethmain.3 con-name ethmain.3 autoconnect yes dev ethmain id 3 it still won't work, because HWADDR must be set. Anyhow, thanks a lot for the help. -- P _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
