Last modified: 2009-12-07 20:50:15 UTC
Description of problem: NetworkManager keeps controlling an interface no matter what. Version-Release number of selected component: 0.7.996-6.git20091021.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: Very, occurs every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Mark eth0 with NM_MANAGED=no (by un-checking from system-config-network) 2. ifconfig eth0 10.11.12.13 3. plug line in and plug out Actual results: NetworkManager: <info> (eth0): ... NetworkManager: <info> (eth0): deactivating device (reason: 40) NetworkManager: <info> (eth0): ... Expected results: none of that. I expect it to not touch eth0 if I mark it unmanaged. Additional info: Works only if I kill it.
Need some /var/log/messages; but since you've filed this both on redhat bugzilla and here on gnome bugzilla, where do you want to track it? I'd suggest we track this in Red Hat bugzilla since it's a fedora-specific issue.
Ack. Added some information there. Sorry about the dupe, but since I was unsure where it belonged to I figured I'd add file it here, too. I guess we can close this one?
Yeah, we can close this one. I've followed up on the RH one based on the information you've provided and you need a valid HWADDR in that ifcfg file tying the ifcfg file to a specific device.
