Description Dennis Sieben 2008-06-01 13:22:08 UTC

If I try to assign a static ip address with to my ethernet interface on a ThinkPad T61 with the NetworkManager I have no luck. Even if I set the static ip in YaST this doesn't matter. This was running in the last Beta, at least the YaST way brought a result there. But now everything is broken. The only way for me was to set the ip address on the interface with the ifconfig command.

It seems like the static ip change is not correctly send to NetworkManager because you fina messages such as "Activation (eth0) Beginning DHCP transaction." inside the log even after setting the static ip.

Removed needinfo state

Comment 4 Dennis Sieben 2008-06-06 21:17:38 UTC

One addition to this. After a restart the ip is set. But nevertheless this is a bug. Don't think we are on windows here, that we have to restart the system after every change ;-) .

This is a duplicate of 378802. It's fixed in upstream, but I can't check in this patch for 11.0 anymore. An alternative for rebooting is to kill nm-system-settings process (it gets restarted automatically).
