I can confirm this, freaking annoying. The best workaround is to use "network connections" which is part of network-manager i think, its already installed and all. Gives you the full list of interfaces, including ethernet, dsl, etc. Thanks to devs for all the hard work already. If you guys do have some time, would appreciate if you took a look at this bug.

The installation process was flawless but on installation the system was logging in only after activating "nomodeset" in the grub menu. However, this problem was sorted out when the Nvidia -304 drivers were installed. The network -manager applet was also not visible and in the network settings no dsl / ethernet connection /card was available. The network settings is only showing VPN connections. The dsl connection could only be activated through "pppoeconf" as no network manager was available. It seems the gnome edition discourages all other modes of internet connections other than VPN. The ISO was downloaded through the "zsync" mode not once but two three times and the same problem has persisted even after re-installing ubuntu-gnome.
