Package: network-manager Version: 0.7.0-1 Severity: normal A change in network-manager behaviour appears to have been triggered by the 2.6.28 linux kernel.
Up till now, I've had network-manager automatically connect to and switch between wired and wireless networks. At work I insert the cable, and my wired connection is set up. I take my laptop home, and it finds my wireless network, the wired connection is switched off. Now all of a sudden I've found that when I get home, the wired connection is still on, even though no cable is inserted to the ethernet jack. At the same time the wireless network is still found and set up. But because nm has already set up the eth0 interface, the gateway and dns (/etc/resolve.conf) is not rewritten. wlan0 is routed to the local network only, the gateway is still set to the eth0 address. So I can't connect properly to the external internet from home. The only way I know to work around the problem is to switch off "Connects automatically" in the nm configuration entry for the wired network. This makes it less convenient at work, where previously I just had to plug in the cable for nm to set up the connection. As far as I can tell the only change I've made to cause this new behaviour is to install a 2.6.28 kernel (well, bind9-host also got upgraded over the weekend along with associated libraries).
