Hi Mathieu,

My ignorance is fairly colossal, but I have the latest network-manager 0.8.1+git.20100810t184654.ab580f4-0ubuntu2 - and I've been struggling with this .local domain Avahi doesn't much care for, for a few weeks now.

My /etc/hosts is (and I have ip6 on Ignore):

192.168.1.3 ubuntu # Added by NetworkManager
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 ubuntu localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
127.0.1.1 ubuntu

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

---------

I also get this warning message from Avahi: "Avahi has detected a .local domain and is shutting down". And no one really seems to know much about it. My ISP swears it has nothing to do with them. Avahi say to check with my Network Administrator and he doesn't know squat cause that's me. I'd kind of like to get rid of it rather than follow the seemingly preferred tendency to "workaround" unknowns....

thanks for your work on this!
