On Debian/Ubuntu it does interact with /e/n/i - if you mention an interface in there NM assumes you mean to manage it the old fashioned way, and should no longer touch that interface. So, if you set eth1 up in /e/n/i then NM will not break it for you. Otherwise, yes, it doesn't touch it. :) > Also, the cool kids use the iproute utility these days. ifconfig/route are > soooo yesterday. > > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iproute2 Well, it does have the signal advantage that it actually, y'know, works to manage the features of the Linux IP stack and all. :) Daniel -- ✣ Daniel Pittman ✉ [email protected] ☎ +61 401 155 707 ♽ made with 100 percent post-consumer electrons _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
