Package: network-manager Version: 0.6.6-2 Severity: normal README.Debian explains all the cases where NM will not manage an interface. The principle of this decision is sane but it lacks a way to delegate an interface to NM anyway.
I have moved my eth0 into a bridge and I would like NM to handle my brigde but there's no way for me to do that because creating a bridge requires setting an option in /etc/network/interfaces: > allow-hotplug eth0 > iface eth0 inet manual > > auto br0 > iface br0 inet dhcp > bridge_ports eth0 vbox0 vbox1 > bridge_maxwait 0 Would it be possible to have an option "network_manager yes" that would force NM to manage the interface ?
