Knetwork manager took over my configs

[santana]

Hi, I have Ibex installed, and since the install my network has been wacked out, mostly because the ip config in Systemsettings network panel disappeared in this release. With no idea where it went to, I fell back to the config files in /etc. OK no problem it's all set. PROBLEM! every time the computer goes into standby and wakes up, the network is reconfigured. I have to do a :

sudo ifdown eth0
sudo ifup eth0

to get my config back. So my question is where is Knetwork manager getting its setting from if not from the files in /etc? What can I do to reclaim my network??

Remove all network managers. You don't need them. They just screw things up.

Before you uninstall knetworkmanager and probably network-manager, make sure you have a Kubuntu installation CD where to get them from later...

The personal setting for your network will be stored in

~/.kde/share/config/knetworkmanagerrc

Most of those will be relevant only for wireless. A wired network Network-Manager will setup as a system connection so it will be always on.

If the file
/etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf contains

[ifupdown]
managed=false

Network-Manager will not manage the connections that are described in /etc/network/interfaces. It will leave them alone and let ifupdown take care of them. At least it is supposed to.

Got my hopes up for a second there. It's already set that way...

Bingo! Thanks. Makes me wonder why Kubuntu isn't configured without network managers by default. By all means let those who want them install them, but don't waste the time of the community at large.
