Has this bug been fixed yet? I am getting killed here with my logs being filled up by NetworkManager. How do I prevent it from starting? I tried to grep for it in /etc/init.d but none of the scripts contain it. I killed it manually, and of course, I lost connection. Upon restarting networking, I got connection back without NetworkManager processes running:
=> ps -ef | grep NetworkManager root 5958 1 0 08:47 ? 00:00:51 /usr/sbin/NetworkManager --pid-file /var/run/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.pid root 5974 1 0 08:47 ? 00:00:29 /usr/sbin/NetworkManagerDispatcher --pid-file /var/run/NetworkManager/NetworkManagerDispatcher.pid bmynars 29539 26348 0 10:47 pts/1 00:00:00 grep NetworkManager root 29567 5974 0 10:47 ? 00:00:00 sh -c /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/01ifupdown eth0 pre-up So, if I do not need it, why does it start in the first place? It fills up syslog and daemon.log files (very small sample only): Apr 27 10:48:30 tux-229 NetworkManager: <info> Activation (eth0) Stage 1 of 5 (Device Prepare) complete.
