Here's the ifconfig-output after I deactivated NM (well, actually I didn't do anything as it conveniently refuses to start when I use the config file ;) ) and reverted to the said /e/n/interfaces.
It shows that my eth0 can actually have an ip even when ppp0 goes through it. That's the way it's always been for me in 7.04, 7.10, 8.04 and now in 8.10... ** Attachment added: "ifconfig_with_networkconf" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19280731/ifconfig_with_networkconf -- [Intrepid] network-manager only allows to use either eth0 or ppp0 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290639 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
