samba/ifconfig conflict with Network Manager.

[David Harel]

Raseel,


Thank you for your reply.

I am afraid you didn't follow the scenario.

The network configuration doesn't happen at boot time. It happens at 
login time. That is, regardless of how late I will set the samba (I 
already tried S80) it is always too early because the Network Manager 
(NM) starts networking only at login.

Typically what I would do is either alter the samba startup script to 
run in the background and check every some time if ifconfig was done or 
try to hook into NM operation and see if I can make samba start from 
there. Guessing that this usability issue effects other people as well, 
I am trying to figure out if Ubuntu people have an official concept to 
handle this conflict.
