I have a bridge device in my (attached) Interfaces file, for any VMs I
may run; this bridge device uses dnsmasq to serve up dns and dhcp, for
NAT. However, with the latest few versions of NetworkManager...
NetworkManager seems to try to connect as a _client_ on that
interface... which I am the _host_ of. It appears in nm-applet as
"Ifupdown (br0)". Switching to my eth0 entry works... but I really
shouldn't have to do that manually. There seems to be no way to
associate specific network profiles to specific network devices; the new
NetworkManager feature would be totally useless on a computer with
multiple wired NICs. Same for Mobile Broadband connections... no way to
specify what modem to use.
