</div>AFAIK you should be able to mark single devices to not be controlled by<br>
NetworkManager. But that's distro specific and I don't know much about<br>
ubuntu.<br>

Thank you for the quick reply. One quick followup question.<br><br>You see, we make cameras based on FOSS ( <a href="http://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/cameras">http://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/cameras</a> ), many of our customers do not have any prior experience with GNU/Linux and we try to help them to install all the development environment to work with our products (most fun is when you modify our pre-installed firmware). Currently we use Kubuntu and I believe KDE-based system is the easiest to use for people who moved from the other OS.<br>
<br>If there is no recommended simple solution with knetworkmanager, would you suggest we instruct all our customers to uninstall it completely and use other means to configure their networks?<br><br>Andrey Filippov<br>Elphel, Inc<br>
