I'm don't quite understand what you mean by "since nm ignores all interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces i'd just suggest to define stuff like bonding there (as we do for the ltsp dhcp interfcase from the installer already without any problems)". I have bonding defined in /etc/network/interfaces. As I stated above I followed this tutorial http://www.howtoforge.com/network_bonding_ubuntu_6.10 for bonding setup. This was completely done without any type of GUI interface such as NetworkManager. For some reason once bonding is setup NM thinks there is no connectivity and pops the applet up for the user indicating it is trying to find a dhcp address, at which point the user can select it and make changes. I think this also indicates a bug in NM that it doesn't properly understand bonding which is why it indicates it is trying to get an IP when the system really isn't. It must only be written to understand interfaces named with the eth prefix and gets stupid with a bond prefix.
If I misunderstood your statement let me know. Thanks, Jim -- NetworkManager Applet does not recognize ethernet bonding. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123808 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
