Title:
NetworkManager does not auto-connect static connection
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Binary package hint: network-manager
There are lots of similar bugs but with differences. I'm running
Kubuntu 9.10 and have manually configured a static ip address using
Network-Manager. When I click the network manager icon it shows my
static route available to activate. Activating it works and as long
as I leave the machine on it retains the static IP address. On reboot
network manager uses the default Auto eth0 dhcp connection despite
having the Static connection set to "auto connect".
There does not seem to be a way to graphically turn off or disable the
default auto eth0 dhcp connection permanently (until manually
reactivated.)
My expectation of network manager is to honor the "Auto Connect" tic
box on whatever connection I've manually set to automatically connect
to.
It seems this issue has been around since Breezy. My logic might be
flawed but I have to ask..... is it possible to add a line in the
"Manage Connections" section of Network manager that would represent
the default "auto connect to dhcp on eth0 or wireless" and give us a
tic box to turn off that connection when enabling our own static
configuration?
