Network Manager 0.8 loose wired link when using 8021q (vlan) on Ubuntu
Last modified: 2016-03-11 17:42:47 UTC
NM 0.7 and 0.7.1 handled corretly, but after fresh install to Ubuntu Karmic NM 0.8 (0.8~a~git.20091013t193206.679d548-0ubuntu1) stops managing wired ethernet when using vlan interfaces with ifup. 1. NM0.8 managing eth0 corretly (dhcp - 10.0.0.26/24) 2. modprobe 8021q still ok 3. edit /etc/network/intefaces: iface eth0.200 inet static address 10.26.0.26 netmask 255.255.0.0 4. ifup eth0.200 (brings vlan200 and set static ip for it) 5. NM0.8 lost wired connection and device unmanaged 6. ifdown eth0.200 -> NM0.8 works on eth0 again. If I create vlan by hand (without interfaces file and ifup) it works fine. 3. edit /etc/network/intefaces remove all line (eth0.200) except: auto lo iface lo inet loopback 4. service network-manager restart (for reload the config file) 5. vconfig add eth0 200 ifconfig eth0.200 inet 10.26.0.26/16 6. NM 0.8 still handle eth0 corretly and the manually created eth0.200 works fine...
