[Mageia-dev] NetworkManager vs initscripts

Wed Nov 28 01:33:13 CET 2012

Hi all...
+
+I have a curious problem with NM and initscripts mix...
+I tried to move one of my boxes to a full NM setup, no sysv network scripts.
+So I set my NetworkManager.conf like this:
+
+[main]
+plugins=keyfile
+
+no-auto-default=*
+
+[keyfile]
+hostname=werewolf.xxx.xxx
+
+Configured the network with nm-connection-editor (static IP), and got a file
+in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/Ethernet:
+
+[802-3-ethernet]
+duplex=full
+mac-address=....
+
+[connection]
+id=Ethernet
+uuid=cdc62758-00f4-4728-bf94-e2b0f9fb06d9
+type=802-3-ethernet
+timestamp=1354033074
+
+[ipv6]
+method=ignore
+
+[ipv4]
+method=manual
+dns=....
+dns-search=...
+addresses1=...
+may-fail=false
+
+And finally I deleted ifcfg-eth0 from /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.
+
+Network starts and stops ok, but on reboot, some process inists on creating
+a ifcfg-eth0 file, with this setup:
+
+DEVICE=eth0
+BOOTPROTO=dhcp
+ONBOOT=yes
+
+which breaks networking on systems that have a fixed IP, and works by chance
+if you use DHCP.
+
+Who creates that ? How can I kill it ?
+
+TIA
