[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#711013: network-manager: ifupdown-plugin doesn't support the new /etc/network/interfaces.d/ yet

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.9.8.0-5
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream


Hi.

The ifupdown (package) now supports parsing of /etc/network/interfaces.d/, which is especially
useful for desktop hosts (where NM seems targeted towards), as one can put the wireless
interfaces there, and make only those with passwords non-world-readable.

The ifupdown plugin from NM seems to not yet support/parse /etc/network/interfaces.d/, at least
no connections configured there show up in NM.


Cheers,
Chris.
