Thanks. I hadn't noticed the grep; I must've assumed that it was a PS1 when I read (quickly) the original email. :) I guess that it's good to know that NM only chokes on "iface ..." stanzas when "managed=false". :) To go back to the original query: Since NM's managing the interfaces, it's "/etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart" or "service NetworkManager restart" or "invoke-rc.d NetworkManager restart" (I don't have a box with NM installed so "NetworkManager"'s from memory; STUPID caps). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
