Fixing VMWware networking

Saturday, August 18, 2018

After Fedora 28 system update for my "Boot Camp" Linux partition, I once again lost networking. Once again I had a broken /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-ens160. This time, the fix was to add NM_CONTROLLED=no, which took me a couple of hours to figure out.

Here is the output file:

DEVICE=ens160

TYPE=Ethernet
HWADDR=00:0c:29:8d:1b:82
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
DEFROUTE=yes
PEERDNS=yes
PERROUTES=yes
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=no
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes
IPV6_DEFROUTE=yes
IPV6_PEERDNS=yes
IPV6_PEERROUTES=yes
IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL=no
IPV6_ADDR_GEN_MODE=stable-privacy
NAME=ens160
UUID=888463b3-7b02-44f7-ba91-a61e42f85884
ONBOOT=yes
AUTOCONNECT_PRIORITY=999
NM_CONTROLLED=no

This is the work blog of Christophe de Dinechin for Red Hat. Think of it as a public lab book.

This should not be particularly interesting except to myself. It's really more intended as a set of personal notes, so there is no formatting whatsoever. I type tings as I go along during the day. All you'll find here are things like stack traces, Linux commands I want to remember or bugzilla links I want to be able to return to.

If you want to read stuff about my work at Red Hat that I believe is more interesting to the general public, you will find it on A Spice Odyssey. If you want to read my rants about everything else, go to Grenouille Bouillie. This is about as much advertisement as you will find on this site.
