[Witold Baryluk]

Package: network-manager-gnome

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
	address 10.6.6.1
	netmask 255.255.255.0
	broadcast 10.6.6.255

	pre-up /sbin/ip link set eth1 address 00:e0:91:zz:xx:yy || true

print_devices(): didn't get a reply from NetworkManager.
There are no available network devices.

This makes programs like Liferea, Gossip, Epiphany, Evolution to start
in offline mode all the time.
