Current Feisty's version brings up the interfaces on boot with your
/e/n/i, and network-manager ignores them (goes into 'manual
configuration' state). However, n-m does shut down the subinterfaces
when I remove the main 'eth0' stanza. However, this is not a supported
configuration, it seems, since ifupdown itself is not able to bring it
up (it fails with 'SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address'). Thus
this network-manager upload has fixed this case:
network-manager (0.6.4-6ubuntu4) feisty; urgency=low
* /etc/network/interfaces can have more than one instance of the same
interface. For example:
iface eth0 inet dhcp
and later
iface eth0 inet6 static
The function ifparser_getif is capable only to return the first instance
of eth0 that is a legal entry for NM to take over, but NM still does not
know how to handle what's next.
Patch 19_interfaces_can_have_more_than_one_instance.patch creates a sub
list of linked if_block via nextsame, binding together all if_block's
related to the same interface and preserving if_data for each block.
Patch 20_do_not_take_over_dhcpv4iface_when_v6_is_configured.patch
blacklist interfaces that have dhcp for inet configuration but have an
inet6 entry following later on. NM does not know yet how to
store/restore/configure IPv6 (blacklisted too) so for now we tell NM
to keep the hands off these interfaces.
