Public bug reported:
Hi,
I discovered the following problem: Under hardy I had configured a
bridge device br0, which I used for kvm. eth0 and eth1 where configured
as "manual":
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet manual
auto br0
iface br0 inet dhcp
bridge_ports none
bridge_fd 9
bridge_hello 2
bridge_maxage 12
bridge_stp off
This was working pretty good on my desktop installation. Under intrepid,
the manual-entries are fully ignored and the NetworkManager does an auto
configuration on eth0, even br0 was configured. So this results in
double routing for the default gateway. eth0 is a member of the bridge.
If doing the setup for eth0 and eth1 with the NetworkManager under
gnome, I would have to be logged in to have networking. Not very good in
my opinion. So an autostart for kvm guests will not work until the user
is logged into gnome.
So I decided to set the options to manual under NetworkManager and to
use only br0 from the interfaces file. But exactly at that moment,
empathy stops working. NetworkManager does no longer detect a configured
network (but br0 is up and fully configured) and empathy seems to depend
on NetworkManager.
NetworkManager would have to recognize the settings done in the
interfaces file.
Kind regards
Christian
