Hi Chris! From what I read, I don't think this is the same issue. The problem is not that NM doesn't work with a static interfaces (I know that it "bypasses" them already, I used that since hoary).
The problem is that network manager does not REPORT a network when using a static ip. Result? It *breaks* the behavior of all the apps! Ubuntu/debian's NM needs to be able to either: - check the static interface's status and report that to userspace applications - report that "network-manager support is not available" to applications that try to use it (might be easier technically?) -- network-manager does not take into account static configurations *properly* https://launchpad.net/bugs/87941 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
