Description Mark Gray 2007-06-22 15:32:39 UTC 
While configuring a two ethernet computer during installation of 10.3-alpha5, the enable IP forwarding check box is grayed out and unusable.  (This is while configuring hardware after installing and rebooting the installed system -- not while configuring when first asked during the installation (it assumes both interfaces are DHCP based, so I prefer to configure them during the hardware configuration phase.))

Not a biggy, but a trifle annoying.

Controled by NetworkManager?
Comment 2 Mark Gray 2007-08-14 15:43:23 UTC 
That is correct -- the list of known bugs said that the "Traditional"  method using the if-* scripts was broken, so I installed using NetworkManager for the first time.  The documentation did not mention multi-ethernet card configuration, so I have since come to the conclusion that NetworkManager is too simplistic to use with a multiple card system (just a guess).

Tambet, is that supported by NM?
Comment 4 Tambet Ingo 2007-08-15 08:34:01 UTC 
NetworkManager supports only one active device at the moment. Activating one device will deactivate previously activated device.
Comment 5 Michal Zugec 2007-08-15 08:59:35 UTC 
According comment#4 closing as INVALID - it's grayed because it shouldn't work in this mode
