Package: network-manager
Version: 0.7.1-1
Severity: important
The wired network interface isn't managed on a default system (>=squeeze).
As far as i understand, this is because:
On a regular Debian system, the file /etc/network/interfaces contains
| allow-hotplug eth0
| iface eth0 inet dhcp
Also, /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf contains:
| [main]
| plugins=ifupdown,keyfile
|
| [ifupdown]
| managed=false
I don't know if the right way to solve the issue is to:
1. comment-out the [eth0] entry in /e/n/interfaces
or
2. set "managed=true" in nm-system-settings.conf
(an kill nm-system-settings or reboot)
Note regarding #1: Every user that upgrade their system from lenny to
squeeze will face this bug. Do you think it's possible to address
this problem (dispaying note or whatever).
Thanks,
Franklin
