Wired network unavailable
Hi, I use NetworkManager (on Ubuntu Feisty) to connect to wireless networks and everything runs pretty fine. However, when i plug in a ethernet cable in my laptop, the wired network is always unavailable in NetworkManager. If i restart my system the wired connection is available though. What can i do to solve this? This is my /etc/network/interfaces: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 #wired interface auto eth1 #wireless interface Regards, Jeroen ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

This is my /etc/network/interfaces: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 #wired interface auto eth1 #wireless interface Try commenting out those last two lines for eth0 and eth1, and then reboot your computer. That may not solve your problem, but it's the first place I would look. Network Manager acts funny when the distro tries to do it's own specific configuration to any of the network interfaces, and it works the best when it's left alone.

I think a few NIC cards don't properly support link detection, though I think this is really rare now. ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

But those are usually older cards.
