Can you show a usage of bringing up/down the network? With this in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf [main] plugins=ifupdown,keyfile [ifupdown] managed=false That does mean that ifupdown is not in charge .. right? ------- --------- ---=--- --------- -------- It seems not to work here. For example: Man page shows nmcli con list (to get a list of CONFIGURED connections; wrapped for mail): NAME UUID Wired connection 1 897c8cd7-b708-4ee4-9123-fcb6d7917edd TYPE TIMESTAMP-REAL 802-3-ethernet Fri 28 Oct 2011 04:28:21 AM CDT Ok fine... so far, but then: nmcli con down uuid 897c8cd7-b708-4ee4-9123-fcb6d7917edd Warning: Connection not active ------- --------- ---=--- --------- -------- Huh? Supposedly all connections were listed in the `list' cmd. We've taken the exact UUID shown and yet are told that connection is not in use... but no others are listed. And then (wrapped for mail): nmcli nm status RUNNING STATE WIFI-HARDWARE WIFI running disconnected enabled enabled WWAN-HARDWARE WWAN enabled disabled But of course, I am live: ping -c1 google.com PING google.com (74.125.225.82) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from ord08s07-in-f18.1e100.net (74.125.225.82): icmp_req=1 ttl=54 time=15.8 ms --- google.com ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 15.833/15.833/15.833/0.000 ms ------- --------- ---=--- --------- -------- Is there no sure file and simple way to bring a network up/down? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
