https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=413214 Summary: NetworkManager does not honour static IP configuration or "Activate Device Manually" configurations in Yast Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: listuser@peternixon.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- I have a Belkin external USB ethernet/serial/parallel/usb expander device which I connect my notebook to while in the office. I use its ethernet port to connect directly to devices under test (We produce ADSL Modems and Access Points) that I cant connect to the office LAN. My wireless interface stays connected to the general purpose office LAN (with DHCP enabled) and my inbuilt interface is generally connected to a separate R&D network (with DHCP enabled). I need my USB ethernet interface to have a static IP address and to be always up (ie. Do no cable/hotplug detection at all) as the test devices I connect it to may not have working DHCP etc (Even if they do have DHCPD I still want to use a static IP and NOT to inherit a default route through the test device). Unfortunately it doesn't matter how I configure this interface it ALWAYS requests a DHCP IP on cable plug! I have tried every config combination I can think of, however NetworkManager always ignores it and merrily trys to run the DHCP client. This is particularly annoying when trying to run "recovery" utilities that need to send magic packets to the device immediately after reboot as even a manually configured IP (with ifconfig) is blown away by NetworkManager as soon as it detects link on the ethernet cable... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
