[Bug 1187693] Re: Disables auto-upping due to `[ifupdown] managed=true` even if network-manager is not installed

[Thomas Hood]

It was mentioned in the changelog.

ifupdown (0.6.8ubuntu10) intrepid; urgency=low
  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2008-October/026656.html:
  * stop ifupdown to auto-up/down interfaces if network-manager's
    ifupdown plugin is in managed=true mode
    [...]

The feature should certainly be documented in interfaces(5) and/or
ifup(8) too.

Title:
  Disables auto-upping due to `[ifupdown] managed=true` even if network-
  manager is not installed

Status in “ifupdown” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  If the network-manager package has been removed but not purged and
  /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf contains

      [ifupdown]
      managed=true

  then ifup still refrains from bringing up interfaces automatically.

  This has already confused at least one person.

      http://askubuntu.com/questions/302840/etc-network-interfaces-
  ignored/304291

  It might be better if ifup refrained from bringing up "auto"
  interfaces only if network-manager is installed.
