This is certainly an interesting idea, but there a few issues: a/ the ifupdown plugin not only parses /etc/network/interface but e.g. also provides the hostname information stored in /etc/hostname, which we want even if ifupdown is not installed. b/ what happens if you install ifupdown *after* network-manager? Given that, I rather think if people want to disable the ifupdown plugin, they should do that manually via /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf, where they can also specify the hostname. So I'm inclined to tag the bug as wontfix. Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
