ubuntu-release: please decide whether we can get this this in intrepid. ** Description changed:
the regression here is that devices are unmanaged even though they dont have a "auto eth0" line in /etc/network/interfaces Here an example of an interfaces configuration that should not set the devices in unmanaged mode https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/279262/comments/14 To reproduce: place the interfaces configuration from the above comment and see that after restart the device is unmanaged in intrepid, but managed in hardy (0.6). The code we shipped in NM 0.6 that shows that auto connections were blacklisted is: for (curr_b = ifparser_getfirst (); curr_b; curr_b = curr_b->next) { if ((!strcmp (curr_b->type, "auto") || !strcmp (curr_b->type, "allow-hotplug")) && strstr (curr_b->name, iface)) blacklist = TRUE; } The proposed patch is committed to the ubuntu.0.7 branch (see Related Branches section in this bug) and can be seen here: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~network-manager/network-manager/ubuntu.0.7/annotate/2957?file_id=012ifupdownunmanagea-20081022120139-7rgnlk84604f1ysu-1 + + Impact: + + no impact for new users + + no impact for users that installed in gutsy or later and didnt tweak their /etc/network/interfaces + + users with dhcp that installed before that will most likely see their interface as being "unmanaged" and "no up" even though those interfaces were previously managed.
