The workaround brings the full contextual menu, but I cannot set the static ip to eth0. If I do, network manager writes to /etc/network/interfaces and I cannot see the modem connections anymore. (home network with static IP on the machine that connects to a pay per minute ADSL).
The weird thing is that the very same configuration works in Ubuntu 7.10! I tried with the same /etc/network/interfaces (rebooting just to make sure): auto lo iface lo inet loopback iface dsl-provider inet ppp pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf provider dsl-provider auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 172.16.2.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 172.16.2.1 In Ubuntu 7.10 (network-manager 0.6.5-0ubuntu1) it works perfectly. In Ubuntu 8.04 (network-manager 0.6.6-0ubuntu5) I lost the contextual menu to access the dsl ... Same 'interfaces' and the same settings in nm. Maybe this will help solve the issue, if I happen to turn on the "roaming mode" (I should not, I do have a static address) then I get the full contextual menu. -- pppoe connection over NetworkManager 0.6 managed ethernet device doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157993 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
