Well, not in VirtualBox (or not at least not when using a windows host), that should be a requirement coming from whatever VM solution are you using. > If NM were capable of controlling br0, you could retain the flexibility > of using NM for all networking with having the convenience of using > various NICs in virtual machines as desired. > > But evidently NM doesn't manage br0, so you have to drop control of any > ethernet functionality and just use NM for wireless. You will get more flexibility (and reliability) when using "/etc/ networking/interfaces" :-) >> Well, for this scenario, I wouldn't use N-M regardless the linux >> distribution, not just Debian.
