Even with interfaces defined in /e/n/i this isn't supposed to be happening.
There error you see looks like NetworkManager might not be running when the issue appears. Any chance you could either attach the whole /var/log/syslog file when you next see the issue, or make NM run with debugging logs and provide those when you can reproduce the issue? Debugging logs can be enabled after starting NM like so: sudo python /usr/lib/NetworkManager/debug-helper.py --nm debug Or starting it from the command-line: sudo stop network-manager sudo /usr/sbin/NetworkManager --log-level=debug All logs will the in /var/log/syslog but are pretty extensive (and could contain sensitive information). You can avoid sending the logs to syslog by starting NM from the command line with the --no-daemon switch. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/956696 Title: It frequently takes a while (a few minutes) for nm indicator to show networks Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: This happens on both my (uptodate precise) laptops, though not every time.
