I confirm this issue on a dist-upgrade from Hardy to Intrepid today. I would appreciate if Ubuntu keeps a straightforward mechanism to edit config file(s) (preferably /etc/network/interfaces, as it's extremely well-understood and functional) and have network-manager honor them by ignoring the interfaces configured there. This has been possible at least since gutsy (when I seriously started using Ubuntu).
I'm a network engineer and sometimes finding myself configuring odd things like vlan and bridging on my laptop's wired interface - there's no way to do that in nm at the moment nor should there be, necessarily. At the same time, having the wireless interface doing its thing via network-manager is also useful, e.g. for scp'ing wireshark traces. Thanks for listening. -- [intrepid] new 0.7 branch ignores /etc/network/interfaces https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/256054 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
