Public bug reported: I had set up in Ubuntu 9.04 a network config fixed at /etc/netwrking/interfaces in a PC acting as a home printer server SO that users just have to switch ON the machine to access the server printer and shared folders but do not need to log in as any user.
All WAS working over a wlan interface (wlan0) on Ubuntu 9.04 Once I upgraded to 9.10, the network became unstable, disconnected most of the time. I have seen the logs at /var/log/syslog and the problems SEEMS to be that NetworkManager is NOT ignoring wlan0 interface as it should because it is being listed in /etc/network/interfaces and should be managed manually ONLY. The connection is unstable because NetworkManager is competing with /etc/init.d/networking to manage the device. Once I remove the config at /etc/network/interfaces, NetworkManager has the device for itself and manages to give me stable connections. How can I force NetworkManager TO IGNORE wlan0? Shoud I deinstall it completelly? [This is not the first time NetworkManager fails on me when I do not seek the default config... is it really worth it?] ** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- After upgrading to karmic, /e/n/i network config (non NetworkManager) no longer works https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/489357 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
