Description of problem: I have a bridge setup for KVM. eth0 and vmnetX are in br0. Well, I like using NM for all my VPN stuff, but it refuses to leave eth0 alone and insists on running dhclient for me. Version Release number of selected component (if applicable): NetworkManager-0.6.5-6.fc7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a bridge 2. Add interface to bridge, assign IP to bridge 3. Start NM 4. Watch your bridge members get managed by NM Actual results: NM reconfigures my interface(s) when I don't want it to. Expected results: NM leaves my bridge interfaces alone. Additional info: I've tried adding IPADDR=0.0.0.0 to eth0 to try and trick NM into thinking to leave the interface alone. No go.
you want NM_CONTROLLED=no in your sysconfig interface file
Thanks! Where is this documented? I'm not seeing it in the initscripts documentation. Also, when I set NM_CONTROLLED=no for eth0, I am unable to use NM for vpn anyways.
It's not in the initscripts for F7, it's read only by NetworkManager there.
