Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
Hi,
network-manager is still highly annoying due to its long list of shortcomings. I've reported several problems to ubuntu's launchpad and the upstream developer (see http://
Unfortunately, the developer seems to be rather ignorant regarding network requirements and too red-hat-oriented (he works for Red Hat and thus is bound to their configuration system, ignoring the ubuntu/debian way to do it). Furthermore, he seems to be a desktop developer and not really experienced with networking, and to deny everything beyond his own experience. Maybe they are sort of jealous, because debian/ubunt has a better and more powerful network configuration environment.
I'd therefore propose to abandon Network-Manager and to write a real graphical frontend for /etc/network/
