Re: How to tell NM to ignore some interfaces

[Jetchko Jekov <jetchko jekov gmail com>]

OK, I spent some time with filtering of NM log. I removed the debug lines related to WiFi connections management (they contain way too much sensitive data IMO, and are irrelevant to my problem anyway). Still the resulting file is around 280k (1,5k lines), so the question is:  Is it OK to attach such "huge" file here? Or shall I gzip (bzip2/xz ) it first?

I am not comfortable sending full NM log (even partially filtered) on public mailing list. is there a way to do it privately?

keyfile.unmanaged-devices should do it.

You already enabled DEBUG logging, can you post the logfile during
startup to see why NM has the device managed?
