Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager-gnome
Ubuntu 9.10, german version, all updates applied.
Summary: Suspect "As soon as the given default name of the connection is
changed, ubuntu creates again new connections with the original default
name in addition."
I have 2 NICs, one VIA onboard and an other 3C905CX-TX-M. Now in the
"Netzwerkverbindungen" I found 5 entries:
"Kabelnetzwerkverbindung VIA 100"
"Kabelnetzwerkverbindung PCI 10/100"
"Kabelnetzwerkverbindung 1"
and 2 more entries with names I gave in former times to distinguish between the
adapters (wonder where Ubuntu remembered this).
I deleted the new "Kabelnetzwerkverbindung VIA 100" and
"Kabelnetzwerkverbindung PCI 10/100", and changed the names of the other ones to
"Kabelnetzwerkverbindung 1" -> "Kabel DHCP"
"Kabel VIA 100 192.168.1.30"
"Kabel 3C905CX PCI 10/100 192.168.0.30"
(BTW, finding 5 connections I would be thankful to easily find out to
which NIC those connections are assigned. As soon as the original name
of the connection is edited in a way, that the information "VIA" oder
PCI 10/100" is lost, I could not find any different hint - neither eth1
nor eth2 nor MAC nor the NIC-name to identify the adapter I am going to
configure)
I needed another reboot to regain network connectivity.
Opening "System > Einstellungen > Netzwerkverbindungen" now I find already 6
connections (tab "Kabelgebunden").
"Kabel VIA 100 192.168.1.30"
"Kabelnetzwerkverbindung VIA 100"
"Kabel 3C905CX PCI 10/100 192.168.0.30"
"Kabelnetzwerkverbindung PCI 10/100"
"Kabel DHCP"
"Kabelnetzwerkverbindung 1"
With other words: As soon as the given default name to the connection is
changed, ubuntu creates again new connections with the original default
name in addition.
Gruß, Gerhard
