Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
In latest release, updated 8.10:
I've created a wired interface called 'Ethernet', which is a manual
configuration on my sole NIC.
I've told it to 'connect automatically'.
Similarly, I've set the connection 'Auto eth0' to 'never connect'.
When I boot my computer, the interface selected is auto eth0, which
grabs a dynamic IP address, which is not what I desire. I have to
manually switch to my 'Ethernet' connection to get the settings I want.
I would expect that on boot, my manual ethernet configuration should be
loaded automatically (as I have checked the appropriate boxes to
indicate my desire that it be so!)
I've tried setting my 'Ethernet' connection to be a 'system setting'
too, to no avail (even after setting auto eth0 to NOT be a 'system
setting'). As a usability issue, that checkbox might need a little more
explanation.
