Hi there, Michael asked to forward this to the list, so here it is... The patch 0005-Mark-virtual-ethernet-interfaces-as-unmanaged.patch (debian Jessie) messes up with my virtual interfaces (vmware vmnet1/vmnet8). Even if I set them manually unmanaged (from /etc/network/interfaces or using keyfile plugin), they finally appear connected and make me lose my internet connection if my ethernet link is down and I'm using WIFI. I'm not sure exactly what's going on with the internals of Network-Manager in this case but setting the default unmanaged flag on the interfaces seems to have some negative side effects. However, I think the idea of not managing the virtual interfaces is OK, in particular for not expert users. You'll find enclosed a small plugin that detects those virtual interfaces and adds them to the unmanaged list. This is based on the keyfile plugin. Please feel free to use it (or not). (0005-Mark-virtual-ethernet-interfaces-as-unmanaged.patch has to be reverted for this plugin to work) Thanks for your work anyway. Nicolas
