Package: freedombox-setup Version: 0.5 If I use debian-installer to make a text-only system with (say) one wired NIC, the installer usually creates a /etc/network/interfaces that will have ifupdown manage that NIC. If I then install (and run) freedombox-setup on said system, I end up with a FreedomBox whose wired NIC is still managed by ifupdown and cannot be managed in Plinth (wherein it's claimed to be "Not Active").
By default, network-manager will not manage any devices mentioned in /etc/network/interfaces. debian-installer's netcfg copes with this by suppressing the generation of that file (except for the loopback stanza) when network-manager is installed [1] (e.g. by a desktop task). Perhaps we should be clearing out /etc/network/interfaces ourselves? [1] http://sources.debian.net/src/netcfg/1.131/finish-install.d/55netcfg-copy-config/#L21
