[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#648995: network-manager: Restarts Ethernet DHCP connection when the daemon starts

[Josselin Mouette]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.9.2.0-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

as discussed on IRC with mbiebl, my network connection (Ethernet using 
DHCP, completely managed by NM) restarts when the daemon restarts. It is 
not shut down when the daemon stops, but when it starts, dhclient is run 
again, and applications briefly show the network as disconnected.

The DHCP lease file is present in /var/lib/dhcp, it is removed when this 
happens and a new one is generated.
