I don't know anything about bridging but I might be able to help with your wired ethernet dhcp settings getting messed up by network manager. To fix that, I have the following in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf -------------------------------------------------- [main] plugins=ifupdown,keyfile [ifupdown] managed=true -------------------------------------------------- This lets the traditional /e/n/i setup and network manager work together nicely. (I forgot what keyfile does. It's probably unrelated.) (You'll have to restart network manager for this to take effect.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
