Very well, this is a feature, not a bug. I very strongly suggest that NetworkManager should be patched to produce some useful output in this case, something to syslog to the effect of "I see some interfaced but I am ignoring them because auto isn't set" would have been extraordinarily useful.
I also strongly suggest that this behavior should be documented somewhere, I would suggest the NetworkManager(1) and interfaces(5) man pages as appropriate places. I also submit that the KDE Network Settings control panel the checkbox that controls the "auto" flag in the interfaces file is misleading. It's currently labeled "Activate when the computer starts". Clearly this button does more than that. It should perhaps be re-labeled and It's function should be documented. Thank you for your time, everybody. Sorry to be such a squeaky wheel, I just want to see Ubuntu (and linux) succeed. -Jeff -- NetworkManager can't find any interfaces https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103532 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
