Well, you are implicitly claiming network-manager is a "new" tool, a replacement for interfaces or ifupdown, which then leads one to think it should be able to at least do what the old tool was doing, plus more. Furthermore, with current behavior, network-manager reinforces this idea. However, by not supporting static IP and by not doing IP allocation at boot time, IMHO is just doing a poor job on this regard (I like it for the rest). Also, it _appears_ that by not just being backwards compatible with "interfaces" it is doing architecturally a poor choice (btw, is interfaces not part of LSB?).
Whether or not you want to see this as a network-manager issue is still your choice, of course, as it is mine to keep my viewpoint. And I'm not really complaining, mind you. -- [hardy] 'Connection Information' is greyed out in pop-up menu when right clicking on Network Manager applet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197946 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
