I've had no end of problems with NetworkManager but seem to be converging on a solution. I have a config file /etc/system-connections/ethernet that seems reasonable, built with the CLI level "nm" tools. Nowhere in any of the config do I have anything that indicates I am running wifi or have wifi hardware on this desktop. That file described a static configuration But when I run nmcli con up ethernet and I get a network connection, the wpa-supplicant starts and a dhcp client starts and I get a dhcp address (.66) and some weird but valid entries in /etc/resolv.conf that are not the ones I specify in the config file (aka 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4) I'm manually killing the wpa and dhcp processes and manually resetting the address and route and resolver entries after boot. I *think* I can solve the issue of static addresses if I can figure a way to make this NOT start wpa and dhcp in the first place. Maybe. Any advice on how to do that other than by use nmcli each time? # cat /etc/os-release AME="openSUSE Leap" VERSION="42.1" VERSION_ID="42.1" PRETTY_NAME="openSUSE Leap 42.1 (x86_64)" # zypper info NetworkManager Information for package NetworkManager: --------------------------------------- Repository: openSUSE-Leap-42.1-Update Name: NetworkManager Version: 1.0.6-10.1 Arch: x86_64 Vendor: openSUSE Installed: Yes Status: up-to-date # more /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ethernet-1 [connection] id=ethernet-1 uuid=96b2bb28-208a-482f-a45f-d60b59e7fe99 type=ethernet permissions= secondaries= [ethernet] mac-address=00:1E:4F:BF:B7:E8 mac-address-blacklist= mtu=1500 [ipv4] address1=192.168.2.14/32,192.168.2.1 dns=8.8.8.8;8.8.4.4; dns-search=HOME......; may-fail=false method=auto [ipv6] dns-search= method=ignore -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
