NetworkManager in Debian Squeeze
NetworkManager in Debian Squeeze
Wired Networks are Unmanaged
As of Debian Squeeze, NetworkManager does not manage any interface defined in /etc/network/interfaces by default.
Unmanaged devices means NetworkManager doesnt handle those network devices. This occurs when two conditions are met:
- The file /etc/network/interfaces contains anything about the interface, even:
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp - And /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf contains:
[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile
[ifupdown]
managed=false
Since network-manager version 0.8.1-4, existing wired/wireless interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces are disabled with a #NetworkManager# prefix during package installation, then re-enabled when the network-manager package is removed.
