Is there any way that I can make networkmanager to assign some unique names or device derrived name instead of `Auto Ethernet` so that we can avoid the names conflict?
After I've upgraded to Ubuntu Vivid which uses systemd(though I'm not sure if it's directly related or it's just a bug / regression of network-manager) both of my mobile broadband devices get the "Auth Ethernet" name and are unable to get connected simultaneously. I can temporarry fix it using `nmcli con add type ethernet con-name my- office ifname ens3` but I would rather like to have network-manager handle this automatically (i.e. assign a random / unique conn name). Use case: I have two broadband USB devices and I need to connect to both of them. The issue is that NetworkManager displays them both as `Auto Ethernet` (duplicate in the network manager applet) and when I try to connect to the second network it errors out ``(32) Connection 'Auto Ethernet' is already active on enp0s20u``. When I try to "edit" the connections it displays only one `Auto Ethernet` connection. `/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections` also lists only one `Auto Ethernet` -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1402094 Title: Network Manager Applet has duplicate entry changing IPv4 Method To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/network-manager-applet/+bug/1402094/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
