** Description changed: Binary package hint: network-manager As requested by Mathieu Trudel in bug #274593, I'm opening a new bug. If the DHCP server in the network goes down for some reason, NetworkManager marks the connection invalid once DHCP request times out: Nov 8 10:59:19 lempo NetworkManager[975]: <warn> (eth0): DHCPv4 request timed out. Nov 8 10:59:19 lempo NetworkManager[975]: <info> (eth0): canceled DHCP transaction, DHCP client pid 6586 Nov 8 10:59:19 lempo NetworkManager[975]: <info> Activation (eth0) Stage 4 of 5 (IP4 Configure Timeout) scheduled... Nov 8 10:59:19 lempo NetworkManager[975]: <info> Activation (eth0) Stage 4 of 5 (IP4 Configure Timeout) started... Nov 8 10:59:19 lempo NetworkManager[975]: <info> Activation (eth0) Stage 5 of 5 (IP Configure Commit) scheduled...

Nov 8 10:59:19 lempo NetworkManager[975]: <info> Activation (eth0) Stage 5 of 5 (IP Configure Commit) failed (no IP configuration found) Nov 8 10:59:19 lempo NetworkManager[975]: <info> (eth0): device state change: 7 -> 9 (reason 5) Nov 8 10:59:19 lempo NetworkManager[975]: <info> Marking connection 'Auto eth0' invalid. Nov 8 10:59:19 lempo NetworkManager[975]: <warn> Activation (eth0) failed. Nov 8 10:59:19 lempo NetworkManager[975]: <info> Activation (eth0) Stage 5 of 5 (IP Configure Commit) complete. Nov 8 10:59:19 lempo NetworkManager[975]: <info> (eth0): device state change: 9 -> 3 (reason 0) Nov 8 10:59:19 lempo NetworkManager[975]: <info> (eth0): deactivating device (reason: 0). If I now unplug and replug the network cable (a common fix for network problems), NetworkManager does not try to get a new IP address via DHCP: Nov 8 11:02:05 lempo NetworkManager[975]: <info> (eth0): carrier now OFF (device state 3) Nov 8 11:02:05 lempo NetworkManager[975]: <info> (eth0): device state change: 3 -> 2 (reason 40) Nov 8 11:02:05 lempo NetworkManager[975]: <info> (eth0): deactivating device (reason: 40). Nov 8 11:02:07 lempo NetworkManager[975]: <info> (eth0): carrier now ON (device state 2) Nov 8 11:02:07 lempo NetworkManager[975]: <info> (eth0): device state change: 2 -> 3 (reason 40) - Rather, I must log on to my computer, click on the nm-applet and select - Auto eth0. This is highly inconvenient if I'm out of office and would - like to do something remotely. Otherwise I could just ask my colleague - to replug the cable. + Rather, I must log on to my computer, click on the nm-applet and select Auto eth0.
