NM with usb g_ether interface

[toabctl <toabctl googlemail com>]

Hi,

i try to use network-manager to manage my usb ethernet device, but
this does not work.

i have a usb device (g_ether loaded with "g_ether
host_addr=02:50:C2:94:9C:3A dev_addr=00:50:C2:94:9C:3A) usb0:

usb0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:50:c2:94:9c:3a
          BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)




My systemconnection looks like:

[connection]
id=UsbHost
uuid=66d1285e-9905-4991-99c8-25fa3b3aa08a
type=802-3-ethernet

[ipv4]
method=link-local

[802-3-ethernet]
duplex=full
mac-address=00:50:C2:94:9C:3A

[ipv6]
method=ignore






When i start NetworkManager, i get:
~# NetworkManager --no-daemon

and nmcli say:

~# nmcli dev

cat /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf :
[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile
no-auto-default=
[ifupdown]
managed=false





/etc/network/interfaces does only contain a line for the loopback interface.



Any ideas why usb0 is not handled?
