The vlan merely provides integration into ifupdown, it is not required for NM at all. I cannot reproduce this -- I just added a VLAN device in NM and that works fine without the "vlan" package. However, you need to disconnect and re-connect the underlying device (or reboot), so I guess trying to install the package was a red herring. But keeping the bug open for the "must fill in vlan name" -- personally I think this is okay, but let's keep it as a wishlist bug.
** Summary changed: - NetworkManager VLAN support fails unless vlan package is manually installed + NetworkManager should provide default name for VLAN -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1519120 Title: NetworkManager should provide default name for VLAN To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1519120/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
