Bug#717449: Generates /etc/network/interfaces config for eth0 although network-manager is installed (desktop task)

[Michael Biebl <biebl@debian.org>]

Package: netcfg
Version: 1.110
Severity: important

Hi,

I just did a installation of 7.1 inside a VM using the desktop task,
which means network-manager was installed along with it.
I was surprised to find the following in /e/n/i:

# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp


This causes the well known problem, that the interface won't be managed
by network-manager.

I'm remember that we had fixed that while working towards the wheezy
release, so I'm surprised to find that issue in 7.1

Marking as important. I think we should address this for 7.2.


Cheers,
Michael
