With NM_Controlled=No in the ifcfg file, NM applet shows "Not Managed", so the ifcfg file is being read. What is the extent of interaction of NetworkManager with ifcfg files is unknown....very little information on the net. Seems Network Manager is still mostly unplublished compared to other utilities. Any pointers to literature on this or macro architecture of NM would be appreciated, as Google is not throwing up the right results.
On a separate note however, I'd still like to know how to use a bridge to route packets between two networks.....say network card having address...192.168.1.3 and a kvm based virtual network say 172.31.1.0/24needing to use this device for Internet access (through router 192.168.1.1) using a bridge? How to do it?
With regards. Sanjay.
