I'd say this WASN'T the intended action of Network Manager which (according to the man page you cite) is "making networking Just Work." This interaction makes networking Just Fail and for no apparent reason.
It is a bug: a logical consequence of the code that was written that, for unforeseen reasons, works AGAINST the goals of the program. It's doing what they said, but not what they wanted. NetworkManager, if it is to be more useful than annoying, needs to recognize when the user makes changes to the network and have some why to preserve those, rather than just playing "mama knows best" and ignoring use specified configuration information. -- [network-admin] net-mgr doesn't remember location https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/74454 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
