2015-01-23 12:46:26 Ken Sharp description What I want to do is incredibly simple: I have my computer connected to eth1 which has internet access. This works fine. I want to connect another network to usb0, not permanently - when I need to use it, and use this for Internet access while remaining connected to eth1 as there are resources I still want to access on that network. This appears to be impossible via the Network Manager applet. There is no logical sense to the routes chosen at all and editing the routes is even more of a mystery. Still working on it, I'll update if I can figure out a way around this disaster.

This appears to be impossible via the Network Manager applet. There is no logical sense to the routes chosen at all and editing the routes is even more of a mystery. I gave up in the end and removed network-manager altogether. Adding a metric in interfaces solves it much more easily. # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface auto eth1 iface eth1 inet dhcp metric 10 # Phone auto usb0 iface usb0 inet dhcp metric 0 There is no obvious reason why I would choose Network Manager on a desktop given that this simple functionality is apparently missing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: network-manager 0.9.4.0-0ubuntu4.4.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.11.0-26.45~precise1-generic 3.11.10.12 Uname: Linux 3.11.0-26-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu17.8 Architecture: i386 CRDA: Error: command ['iw', 'reg', 'get'] failed with exit code 1: nl80211 not found.
