[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#709543: Wired network interface is configured as unmanaged by NM in wheezy xfce-live

[Johan Lörne]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.9.4.0-10
Severity: serious

Hi. This is my first bug report, so i'm sorry if it's not up to
standards.

I recently helped a friend to install wheezy from the xfce live-cd, and
after installation the wired network-card used during installation was
unmanaged by network-manager. I searched through old bugs and found the
problem was up before, seemed to be fixed for squeeze, and somehow
managed to get to wheezy and fixed again? (#699213)

Either way, i'm not sure if it only affect wired or also wireless since
I don't have the opportunity to try it with wireless now. I changed the
network-manager config like so...

/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

[ifupdown]
managed=true

Now it works fine, but it should have worked by default. My friend
almost switched to another distro because of the issue ;-)

Thanks for a great system, cheers!
