 Are you saying that you type sudo ifdown usb0  sudo ifup usb0
 every time you plug in your FR?

 I'm beginning to conclude that I will have to remove NM and set up
 everything manually.

have you tried replacing network manager with Wicd[1]. i think it has better
frontend and will not have the same issue as NM.

You have to decide where you want to spend your time.  For me it isn't
NM at the moment.  So yeah its a a drag but I type it in.

Sure sounds like a routing issue. Can you post your routing table?

 I've just upgraded my Hardy desktop to Intrepid and now have network
 problems.

 This is my /etc/network/interfaces

 auto lo
 iface lo inet loopback

 auto usb0
 iface usb0 inet static
   address 192.168.0.200
   netmask 255.255.255.0
   network 192.168.0.0
   up iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE -s 192.168.0.0/24 
   up echo 1  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward 
   up iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT 
   down iptables -D POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE -s 192.168.0.0/24

 This worked fine with Hardy, but the desktop cannot see the network.

 If I comment out auto usb0 and everything below, I can access the rest
 of the network, but then, of course, my FreeRunner no longer has
 Internet access.

 Any ideas on how to get both up?


 I use the following setup:

On the Freerunner:

auto usb0
iface usb0 inet static
address 192.168.0.202
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
gateway 192.168.0.200
up echo -e nameserver 192.168.0.200 /etc/resolv.conf

On the desktop:

allow-hotplug usb0
iface usb0 inet static
address 192.168.0.200
netmask 255.255.255.0

The iptables-stuff is set at system startup and always active, no matter if
the Freerunner is connected or not. These lines are suitable for
iptables-restore:

*filter
-A FORWARD -i usb0 -o eth0 -j ACCEPT
-A FORWARD -i eth0 -o usb0 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
*nat
# redirect this to my DNS
-A PREROUTING -i usb0 -p udp -m udp --dport 53 -j DNAT --to-destination
192.168.7.71
-A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

And finally in /etc/sysctl.conf:

net.ipv4.conf.default.forwarding=1

Recently something changed with NetworkManager in Intrepid, don't know
what.  With the auto usb0 line in the interfaces file NM decided that
it to make it the default route when I plugged it in.  I could see the
nm-applet going around and then a notification that I was connected to
the Freerunner.  Looking at connections with nm-applet there were tabs
for both the wireless and usb0 with usb0 marked as default. I kinda
remember an Ubuntu bug-report concerning the default route in NM.

Any way my solution was to comment out auto usb0 and manually use
ifup usb0 (actually sudo ifdown usb0  sudo ifup usb0 is what I
use).
