Re: Should network-manger manage virbr0 ?

Hi list,

I'm using Ubuntu and just upgraded to (still in development) Vivid.
Now I see that network-manager handles my virbr0 bridge (libvirt), which 
it didn't before.

NM will recognize and "manage" all network interfaces, but that does not
mean that NM actually touches the interfaces.  If the interface already
has a configuration, NM simply assumes the existing configuration and
waits for you to tell it to do something.  That's a difference from
older versions of NM (0.9.8 and earlier) where NM was mostly ignorant of
existing configuration.

We know that NM 0.9.10 still has a few edge cases where it touches
interfaces and shouldn't, but almost all of those have already been
fixed in NM 1.0 and later.

Vivid currently ships with nm 0.9.10.0.

I can't make a decision whether this is a (packaging ?) bug or an 
intended feature, and what will be the consequences of nm mananging virbr0.

Can anyone enlighten me ?

thanks,
Franck
