Hi,
On return from hibernation, Network Manager doesn't restore the same connection that was active.
I have two eth network configurations: one automatic, which is the default one, and one fixed, in which I define the address and other things. I'm using "Fixed", but if I hibernate and restore I get "wired connection 1", ie dhcp.
I'm going to the undefine "wired connection 1" the setting "connect to this network when available", but then maybe it will not connect to anyone. [...] Confirmed, then I get "no connection". I may try to set both as default, see which one gets it... [...] Well, it was the "Fixed" one.
I also have multiple configurations available, but only have DHCP and WiFi configured to automatically connect. The only time I use the manual configurations is when I have a specific need for it. If you have multiple automatic connect configurations, how is the desired one supposed to be selected?
By asking. :-) If one was active before hibernation, afterwards try the same one. Why change, if it was manually selected by me, the master of the universe?
On my computer, if I need something beyond DHCP, I manually select it. BTW, on my home network, I use DHCP for most devices, but have the DHCP server configured to map a specific IP address to a MAC address. Only my main desktop system and firewall/router have static addresses.
Of course, I also run IPv6 at home, so IPv4 addresses are generally irrelevant.
