I would like to add that with 2.6.32 the IP address is dropped even if = I exit the KNetworkManager before unplugging the network cable. I can reproduce the problem without touching the network cable. If I ex= ecute (I am running Debian 5.0, kernel 2.6.32): # /etc/init.d/network-manager stop then the network goes down. After this I execute: # /etc/init.d/network-manager start then the network comes up, the IP address assigned by DHCP appears for = about a minute then the this IP address is dropped and the address starting wit= h 169.254 is assigned.
