    Bridge Connection through Network Manager

    Pretty excited to see Bridge added to Network Manager. Didn't see anything specific for Kubuntu, so I used this guide.

    http://ask.xmodulo.com/configure-lin...er-ubuntu.html

    Couldn't get it to work. From my Connection Editor window, After clicking +Add>>Bridge, I then clicked the Add button for the Ethernet connection. It properly showed the "Wired" window, and showed the Connection name: "New 802-3-ethernet connection", but the buttons didn't work. I could not choose the MAC address for eth0 and I couldn't click the Save button. I don't have but one nic so I was thinking maybe it didn't let me choose the nic since there is only one so I just hit enter on the keyboard and it did appear to save the connection, but when I clicked "Connect" it didn't.

    Just to see what would happen, I edited the interfaces config file manually and added a bridge and it works, but I thought the point of Network Manager was to be able to use the gui. Any ideas. Thanks
Working...
