Yes, by default in Ubuntu, NetworkManager manages wired connections as well as wireless ones. Whether the connection comes up at boot time vs. at login time is a question of the NM configuration - I think wired connections are *supposed* to attempt DHCP by default at boot time without requiring a user login first, but I could be mistaken.
"the network is not available when mountall tries to mount the cifs share" is a red herring, btw; mountall is supposed to try the mount multiple times - once at boot, once when each network interface comes up - until it succeeds. And this does work, except in the case that bringing the network interface up is blocked waiting for the filesystem. -- arbitrary remote mount points under FHS directories (incl. /home) block the 'filesystem' signal https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/447649 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
