Hi,

I'm trying to configure my debian testing router using Network
Manager
(in replacement of the /etc/network/interfaces file). But I've
found an
issue. I can't set two connections at the same time on the same
network
interface.

I've configured two connections : a pppoe and a 802-3-ethernet
one.
They
have to work at the same time on the same interface. The ethernet
connection is to set a local ip address for me to have access to
my
adsl
modem web interface. The pppoe is to setup my internet
connection.

Using ifupdown, it works well. Both connections are up without
any
problem. But Network Manager doesn't allow it. I've bound the 2
connections used by network manager using the 802-3-ethernet.mac-
address
parameter.

But when I set a connection up, the other one is disconnected. I
can
only have one at a time.

Is this normal or is there a way to bypass this behavior ?

At the moment this is expected behavior, and it's a bug in
NetworkManager that has a long history and hasn't yet been
fixed.  So
unfortunately NM can't meet your needs at this time.  Fixing this
issue
has always been in my mind at least, and we've made slow progress
towards it, but there's still a bunch of stuff to do before it's
finally
fixed.

Some progress about this issue ? Maybe a bug that I could follow ?

Hi Anthony,

No progress :(

since you also asked about multiple vpn connections..., that one is
fixed on master and will be in the upcoming 1.2 release. Both NM core
and the VPN plugin must be updated to support that.
