Package: network-manager Version: 0.9.6.4-1 Severity: normal Sometimes I want to run a program that uses the wireless card in a way that NM would not handle well. kismet is a great example. However, when I go into the applet and disable "Enable Wireless", NM enables rfkill for the wireless card.
This is (a) not the previous behavior, and (b) not what I want. When I disable "Enable Wireless", I want NM to forget about the wireless card completely. If I wanted to rfkill the card, I would use the switch that has been built into my laptop for that exact purpose. As it stands, there is no way to tell NM to temporarily not manage an interface. I understand that NM wants to manage all the interfaces, all the time, but until it acquires the ability to put the card into monitor mode (and everything else that kismet can do), there needs to be a way to tell it to buzz off. Please revert to the previous behavior. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.7-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages network-manager depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii dbus 1.6.8-1 ii dpkg 1.16.9 ii isc-dhcp-client 4.2.4-5 ii libc6 2.13-38 ii libdbus-1-3 1.6.8-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.100-1 ii libgcrypt11 1.5.0-3 ii libglib2.0-0 2.34.3-1 ii libgnutls26 2.12.20-4 ii libgudev-1.0-0 175-7.1 ii libnl-3-200 3.2.7-4 ii libnl-genl-3-200 3.2.7-4 ii libnl-route-3-200 3.2.7-4 ii libnm-glib4 0.9.6.4-1 ii libnm-util2 0.9.6.4-1 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.105-3 ii libuuid1 2.20.1-5.3 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian9 ii udev 175-7.1 ii wpasupplicant 1.0-3+b2 Versions of packages network-manager recommends: ii crda 1.1.2-1 ii dnsmasq-base 2.65-1 ii iptables 1.4.16.3-4 ii modemmanager 0.5.2.0-2 ii policykit-1 0.105-3 ii ppp 2.4.5-5.1+b1 Versions of packages network-manager suggests: pn avahi-autoipd <none> -- Configuration Files: /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf changed: [main] plugins=ifupdown,keyfile no-auto-default=00:16:d3:b3:80:1e,ee:b0:3a:d2:89:45,F0:DE:F1:B8:36:FD, [ifupdown] managed=false -- no debconf information -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
