Public bug reported: Binary package hint: network-manager
Use case: Laptop's X/GUI was broken due to alpha release of lucid wanted to connect my laptop with desktop's extra NIC Wanted to share desktop's upstream connection (eth0) with eth1, which on its part is connected with the laptop. Opened network settings through nm-applet, edit "Auto eth1", set ipv4 settings to "shared to other computers." notify-osd now goes haywire, reporting wired connection established and wired connection disconnected in a endless loop. Looking at ifconfig output, repeated many times on the command line, does, sometimes for short periods 1 second or so, show that eth1 has a 10.x.x.x ip address, which is good I think because this would be necessary for the NAT workings. Disabling network connection with nm-applet does not stop notify-osd from looping the same message over and over.
