From my previous post to this bug:

Thanks for the patch. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to make any 
difference. I "apt-get source"'ed network-manager (yielding 
network-manager-0.6.6-2) and put your patch into debian/patches. I 
seems the patch was applied (there's a corresponding log file in 
debian/patches now), but NetworkManager reports no networks again 
(with the custom "up"-rule, that is).



/etc/network/interfaces has been created by the installer. If I add an 
"up"-rule to the interface (to enable Wake-on-LAN), NetworkManager will 
show no configured devices (at least via the dbus interface used by 
Sugar). If I comment out that rule again, NetworkManager will report 
eth0 as online.


=== Begin /etc/network/interfaces ===
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
#   up  ethtool -s $IFACE wol g

=== End /etc/network/interfaces ===

Hi Sascha, 

I think "does not work" lacks information here. How doesn't it work, what 
are the steps to reproduce? I can start network-manager and 
network-manager-dispatcher, then iceweasel and be in online mode just as 
I think it should work. 

Ciao
