Whatever was cool in 2010. Seriously just close the issue, nobody cared for 5 years, even if it still exists, nobody cares.

I wanted to select net-tools and network-manager. I found two instances where ifconfig(8) doesn't notify NetworkManager. DHCP discovery isn't done during the initialization period, but is done in the background by NetworkManager. This means there is a race condition between network manager and ifconfig(8) e.g. after i start ubuntu, login and open a terminal if i type "ifconfig eth0 <address>" it is reset by NetworkManager a couple minutes later (When DHCP discovery fails). also, afaict i never configured DHCP discovery. The second instance is after i disconnect a network cable, Network Manager doesn't notice i set an address using ifconfig(8) and brutally resets it (while my interfaces file is empty and afaict the NetworkManager config is too).
