Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-
Ubuntu 9.10, german version, all updates applied.
Summary: Suspect "As soon as the given default name of the connection is changed, ubuntu creates again new connections with the original default name in addition."
I have 2 NICs, one VIA onboard and an other 3C905CX-TX-M. Now in the "Netzwerkverbin
"Kabelnetzwerkv
"Kabelnetzwerkv
"Kabelnetzwerkv
and 2 more entries with names I gave in former times to distinguish between the adapters (wonder where Ubuntu remembered this).
I deleted the new "Kabelnetzwerkv
"Kabelnetzwerkv
"Kabel VIA 100 192.168.1.30"
"Kabel 3C905CX PCI 10/100 192.168.0.30"
(BTW, finding 5 connections I would be thankful to easily find out to which NIC those connections are assigned. As soon as the original name of the connection is edited in a way, that the information "VIA" oder PCI 10/100" is lost, I could not find any different hint - neither eth1 nor eth2 nor MAC nor the NIC-name to identify the adapter I am going to configure)
I needed another reboot to regain network connectivity.
Opening "System > Einstellungen > Netzwerkverbind
"Kabel VIA 100 192.168.1.30"
"Kabelnetzwerkv
"Kabel 3C905CX PCI 10/100 192.168.0.30"
"Kabelnetzwerkv
"Kabel DHCP"
"Kabelnetzwerkv
With other words: As soon as the given default name to the connection is changed, ubuntu creates again new connections with the original default name in addition.
