Re: Ethernet device Apple Uninorth 2 GMAC is not managed

Hi Adrian,

There is some info in /etc/network/interfaces:

jeroen@debian:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug enP2p36s15f0
iface enP2p36s15f0 inet dhcp
# This is an autoconfigured IPv6 interface
iface enP2p36s15f0 inet6 auto

I can't get network-manager to work (I tried commenting out the 
enP2p36s15f0 entries in /etc/network/interface. With the above 
configurreation I can however manually force it to accept a connection 
by issuing a
sudo ifup enP2p36s15f0

It then remembers this and each time I turn on the computer, the device 
is configured.
I can live with this but I don't understand why network-manager can no 
longer configure this device.
