Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
Today's (April 15th) build of Fiesty. From a fresh install if the user goes to network manager and does "Manual Configuration" and sets a static IP for the network interface, Network Manager gives the appearnce that the IP has been set on the network interface. Yet when checked with ifconfig you see that the interface has no IP what so ever. This can be resolved by first disabling networking in network manager and then re-enabling it. But the user is left wondering the first time why they cannont get anywhere on their network.
Scenario
======
- Machine is on dhcp network
- Go to network manager click "Manual Configuration"
- In network tool set static configuration
- Press ok
- See network manager animation .. you perceive all to be well
- Try to do something on network , can't do anything
- You see using ifconfig that the network interface does not have an IP address
- You go to network manager and disable Networking
- Then you go to network manger and enable Networking
- Works now
I can confirm this. I'm using Feisty build from April 15th too.
