I had the same issue. Setting "managed=false" in /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf fixed it. My nm-system-settings.conf looks like this: [main] plugins=ifnet,keyfile [ifnet] managed=false auto_refresh=false So this isn't an actual bug but a run time configuration choice/failure? This is controlled by ifnet plug-in. It maintains your network configuration in Gentoo's /etc/conf.d/net and wpa_supplicant.conf. If you need to change the name, please don't make the connection system-wide or disable the plug-in as others suggested. After checking out NM-0.9.2.0, I think this is a valid bug. All the connections in NM-0.9.2.0 are system connections but ifnet should not manage connections that are not "available to all users". I'll fix this issues but for now, you have to disable the plug-in as poncho suggested. Same problem here. IMO, NetworkManager should not touch "my" /etc/conf.d/net at all but keep its stuff to itself :/ .... Fixed in networkmanager-0.9.2.0-r2. PS: If you check "available to all users", the connection will become a system connection and ifnet plug-in will handle it. Then you can't change the connection name and the connection settings will be written to /etc/conf.d/net. So if you do not want these, please do not check that checkbox and the connection will become a user connection. |
