Description of problem:

NetworkManager-0.7.0-1.git20090102.fc10 will no longer bring up system interfaces without an NM_CONTROLLED=yes entry, causing much grief for server type machines.

Comment 1 Dan Williams 2009-02-05 18:17:06 UTC 
Hmm, this is not right.  Just to narrow down a few things; the HWADDR shown there is the same as the mac address on eth0, right?

Also, what's the output of this:

dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSystemSettings /org/freedesktop/NetworkManagerSettings org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get string:org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.System string:UnmanagedDevices
Comment 2 Orion Poplawski 2009-02-06 17:49:04 UTC 
Hmm, I cannot reproduce this any more.  No idea what was going on.
