[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#562748: Bug#562748: network-manager: takes network down, not working, changes hostname

[Roberto Lumbreras]

Hi Michael,

I've tried it, and it fixes the hostname issue (nm does no change the
hostname).

I had to set "managed=true" in /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf,
nm-applet said "interface not managed", then the wired interface works
perfectly with nm-applet, but the wireless interface is still in "not ready"
status.

If I put the wpa-conf stuff in /etc/network/interfaces and run "ifup eth1"
the interface works as expected.

Regards,
Roberto Lumbreras
