Just some info about the Debian Network Manager.
Wired Networks are Unmanaged As of Debian 6.0 "Squeeze",
NetworkManager does not manage any interface defined in /etc/network/interfaces by default.Unmanaged devices means NetworkManager doesn't handle those network devices. This occurs when two conditions are met:
The file /etc/network/interfaces contains anything about the interface, even:
Code:
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
And /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf contains:
Code:
[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile
[ifupdown]
managed=false
