Subject: ipheth "UI" problem

Hey Diego,

ipheth recently got added to the kernel, and seeped into Fedora. I love
the functionality of it (even though I'm more likely to be using the
Bluetooth tethering, to be honest).

I already filed a bug against NetworkManager connecting to the interface
automatically:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=633465

My problem is while I have disabled NetworkManager's automatic
connection, the kernel module still connects to the device, and I have a
constant "Internet Tethering" appearing on my iPhone.

Wouldn't it be possible to only check for the service being offered by
the device when plugging it in, and actually do the connection to the
service when we want to use it (when the interface is upped)?

Cheers 

PS: Re-sent with the correct ML address, sorry Diego
