I would also like Network Manager to treat tap like any other Ethernet interface. When it gets a "link" (i.e. OpenVPN starts up), Network Manager should take the appropriate action, whether to configure it manually, launch dhclient, or whatever.
Yes, you could push options from the OpenVPN server, but I have the server-side tap bridged to my internal LAN and I want the remote machine to look EXACTLY like another machine on my net. Which means to get its IP configuration via DHCP, just like all the other machines. I don't want to maintain (essentially) 2 DHCP servers: a "normal" one and OpenVPN via push. Steve PS. I'm new to Ubuntu. In Fedora, "/sbin/ifup tap0" would use a configuration file (ifcfg-tap0) and treat tap0 just like eth0. This at least gave me a work-around... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297707 Title: DHCP feature for network-manager-openvpn with TAP required -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
