[Bug 139403] Re: network-manager should stop managing any interface configured in /etc/network/interfaces
I am on 8.10 and have following cards: eth1 + ath1 (both wireless). Now I would like to be able to use eth1 as usually without the other one connecting to the same network (which is cause strange delays while fetching web pages). So I decided to add ath1 to interfaces file: iface ath1 inet manual I have also tried adding 'auto ath1' but this does not change anything. But it seems NM is happy to manage ath1 anyways... It looks to me this is the same bug... (correct me if I'm wrong, and if so - how should I blacklist an interface from the NM?) BTW - NetworkManager is very poorly documented, is it really the case or have I missed something obvious (the code obviously, but I am not talking about this kind of documentation ;) ). -- network-manager should stop managing any interface configured in /etc/network/interfaces https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139403 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It seems that I'm also affected by this particular problem on my old Hp Omnibook XE2. I've got roaming mode enabled and network manager applet sees wired connection, but never connects to it right away after boot. I must manually choose wired connection, to receive ip address. My network card is 3c589D pcmcia.

[Bug 139403] Re: network-manager should stop managing any interface configured in /etc/network/interfaces
Hi @all, this is my first post on the launchpad - so please excuse any formal mistakes. What you've described, I've also figured out. It's really frustating, that after bootup I do never have an internet connection automatically. My /etc/network/interfaces is empty except the auto lo entry and I've enabled the roaming mode for the wired connection. But on bootup my eth0 (I have only this device for networking) will be deactivated every time. I need then to deactivate network and activate network on the n-m icon at the gnome-panel to get online. Does anyone have a suggestion, how this could be solved? entries in /var/log/syslog during the boot up: ... NetworkManager: info Updating allowed wireless network lists.

[Bug 139403] Re: network-manager should stop managing any interface configured in /etc/network/interfaces
I'm still not sure it's the same underlying problem that I'm trying to report, and I wish someone would post a clear diagnostic test here. What I can say is that the problem has survived the Gutsy upgrade. The workaround of disabling and then enabling networking still works to fix it. I've only upgraded two machines so far, but there was no sign of network-related problems with the other one. It's only my Sharp notebook PC-WA70L that has the problem. -- network-manager should stop managing any interface configured in /etc/network/interfaces https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139403 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Though the last comment from Alexander wasn't addressed to me, I hoped to apply it, but roaming was not selected, and my wired interface is not listed in /etc/network/interfaces. I have done some more experiments, but still have no real understanding of the problem. I still can't even understand why this is marked as the parent bug of the duplicate that actually seems to match the problem I'm seeing... However, it doesn't seem to be a widespread problem.

However, it is listed as a duplicate of this bug, and when I read this one I am unable to understand the relationship. To recap: After booting, the computer is not connected to the network. If I disable the network and enable it again, then it will connect and work normally. I have not seen any similar problems on about half-a-dozen machines that I've installed Ubuntu on, but this installation is my first on a Sharp notebook.

[Bug 139403] Re: network-manager should stop managing any interface configured in /etc/network/interfaces
Hi Alexander - I am seeing problems with network-manager / network- manager-gnome that seem related to this. At least the bugs that seem to describe it are marked as dups of this one ;-) The symptom I see is that network-manager is *not* managing my wired network, when it should. At the office I have both a wired LAN, and a wifi signal. Network manager is choosing the wifi signal and not allowing me to revert to the wired LAN. This symptom is similar to what is reported under #126494 . This is with current gutsy witn network- manager 0.6.5-0ubuntu14 and network-manager-gnome 0.6.5-0ubuntu9 . I _can_ get the networking infrastructure to use the LAN, saying `sudo ifdown eth1` but then NM thinks we have no network, and doesn't let me use the VPNs I have configured. So this is quite an awkward regression. Does the statement that network manager should stop to manage _any_ interface that is configured in /etc/network/interfaces mean that for things to work well I have to remove eth0 from /etc/network/interfaces?

That somehow completely broke wifi support here. I have tried purposely commenting out ath0 and wifi0 and restarting both networking and dbus, but that didn't help; the nm-applet keeps on dying.
