before vivid i'd habitually setup static IPs in /etc/network/interfaces and remove wpa_supplicant which in turn yanked out networkmanager. i just tried that on vivid. ifconfig and route -n look normal but ping is not happening. so are we stuck with an unremovable networkmanager now, or can anyone suggest extra steps that might be needed in vivid? it worked mostly fine with network manager using dhcp, but when I found networkmanager pinning the CPU yesterday i figured i'm overdue to purge it&setup the static IP. not so easy now apparently.. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
