Last modified: 2015-04-07 12:27:47 UTC
Steps to reproduce: set up: 1) disable your wired device 2) delete "Auto ethernet" connection 3) in nm-connection-editor, create a system-wide ethernet connection (tick "... all users ...") with auto-connect and with both ipv4 and ipv6 disabled 4) in nm-connection, create a bridge device with device from 3) used as slave 5) enable eth & bridge connections reproducer: 6) go to Network panel of g-c-c or "Network Settings" in network top-bar menu 7) select wired device, hit "cogwheel", go to ipv4 config 8) disable ipv4, confirm 9) hit cogwheel again, go to ip4 tab again1 what happens: 7) ipv4 is enabled 9) ipv4 is enabled what should happen: g-c-c shouldn't touch bridge port in any of these cases as the IP configuration is specified on the bridge device versions: Fedora 19 Beta RC4 control-center-3.8.2-1 NetworkManager-0.9.8.1-1 note: nm-connection-editor doesn't have this bug
