I don't think is it necessary for NM to check that a static network connection is well configured. Checking if the link is up should be enough. I guess it is the administrator/user responsibility to assure that a static connection is properly configured.
To sum up, with a static connection NM should report: * network connection if the link is up * unconnected if it is down. -- network-manager should not set offline mode when it manages no device https://launchpad.net/bugs/82335 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
