Got to reply myslef, but the problem is fixed now, though it seems
there is a bug in networkmanager anyway. Basically beacuse of I am
using archlinux, I have to put "!" in front of the interface name in
the /etc/rc.conf. It looks looks like this:
INTERFACES=(lo !eth0 !ath). This have been already done before I
reported the problem. Thing is that I was expecting that putting that !
is enough for NM to take control over the interface. I later found
out that it is not and I also had to hash-out the interface definition
that was there for eth0 (eth0="eth0 10.1.1.35 netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 10.1.1.255"), otherwise NM would set only these ^^^
parameters for eth0 without trying dhcp; hence the missing route
gateway. I was not aware that NM keeps track on a distro-specific
network configuration and is somewhat actually buggy in case of
archlinux. IMHO it should only be aware of the "!" in front of the
INTERFACES array and not care about the other parameters.
That sounds like something on the ArchLinux package side, Debian and
Ubuntu do something similar where NetworkManager won't manage an
interface that has a static ip address. Generally the distro specific
backends are maintained by distro maintainers and not by the mainline
NetworkManager dev's. This is probably something that needs to be
specified in the ArchLinux documentation somewhere.
