Title:
  network manager unmanaged device

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I have a dhcp server configured on wlan0, which is set up with a
  static IP address and other configuration info in
  /etc/network/interfaces. By rule, the Network Manager should
  completely ignore the device, when it has settings for it defined in
  the mentioned file. But it seems to ignore that. Then I added a
  configuration directive in /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf
  as unmanaged-devices=mac:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, which works until I log into
  gnome.

  When I log into gnome, the Network Manager icon is missing, and I have
  to do the following to get the icon in the desktop, as well as, the
  network device:

  sudo killall NetworkManger -9
  sudo ifdown wlan0
  sudo ifup wlan0

  /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf content:

  # This file is installed into /etc/NetworkManager, and is loaded by
  # NetworkManager by default.  To override, specify: '--config file'
  # during NM startup.  This can be done by appending to DAEMON_OPTS in
  # the file:
  #
  # /etc/default/NetworkManager
  #

  [main]
  plugins=ifupdown,keyfile

  no-auto-default=e6:6e:3f:60:d2:be,6e:92:ba:a9:ad:fc

  [ifupdown]
  managed=false

  [keyfile]
  #following mac is fake
  unmanaged-devices=mac:00:23:21:af:23:45

  /etc/network/interfaces content:

  auto lo
  iface lo inet loopback

  auto wlan0
  iface wlan0 inet static

  My system is a Ubuntu 10.04 fully up to date with wlan0 a Ralink
  RT2561 pci card.
