Re: Gnome 3, Network-Manager & ifupdown

[David BERCOT <debian bercot org>]

Hello,

I am sorry to insist but I suppose I'm not alone with this problem ???
It seems very surprising that Network Manager cannot recognize an
active connection...

Or, is it possible to have a "special" user configuration for this ?

May be a little clue ?

Thank you.

David.
