Re: Putting interface always up with NetworkManager

[Andrei Petru Mura <mapandrei gmail com>]

Hi Andrei,

What value should I set to ignore-carrier?

Is it ok if I proceed like this:

in /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/general.conf

I'll put this:

[device]

match-device=interface-name:enp5s0f1

ignore-carrier=yes

?

Thanks,

Mura Andrei

You can set ignore-carrier device property in NetworkManager.conf.
