Hi Thomas Thanks for your reply.
Sorry, can't reboot the laptop right now, will do that later. Just as an info, I have done many reboots while testing. Yes, eth0.1 is a VLAN. It is defined in /etc/network/interfaces: auto eth0.1 iface eth0.1 inet dhcp I also tried another syntax: auto vlan1 iface vlan1 inet dhcp vlan-raw-device eth0 Both declarations lead to the same result: Using standard debian/ubuntu 'ifup / ifdown' commands such as: ifup eth0.1 or ifup vlan1 lead to the correct result. The system sets up the vlan device as well as the parent device eth0. In nm-applet you see the above mentioned bahaviour, i.e. the config is shown as "ifupdown(eth0.1)", but network manager uses device eth0 instead of eth0.1 What do I want to achieve? ===================== Actually, not very much from my point of view: 1. I want to use network manager (and nm-applet) to manage my networks. The system is a laptop and thus movable. So it encounters different network environments. 2. I have a network system at my office, where I have access to two VLANs (id 1 and id 5). I need to connect to VLAN1. 3. I need to have network manager being aware of this connection, because I need occasionally VPN connectivity. And this is only possible if nm has established the underlying ethernet connection. I hope my explanation doesn't make it more complicated than it is :-) In the end, I just want to be able to connect to a VLAN via nm-applet. Configuration of the vlan connection does not need to be done via nm- applet (I know that this is not yet implemented), but using network- manager with vlan should be possible for version 0.9.4. If I am doing anything wrong here, I'd appreciate very much some hints how to do it correctly. Unfortunately, there is only very little information in the net about configuring vlan with network manager. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1029273 Title: NetworkManager tries to configure eth0 instead of eth0.1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1029273/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
