Another update:  I just got an update for network-manger today, and now
the program is a fail.  Under Wireless Networks, it says "device is
unmanaged", is greyed out, and shows a disconnected icon.  I'm still
thankful that I can use dhclient, and /etc/interfaces to configure my
network, but network manager is not working.  Additionally, pidgin and
firefox are acting as if I have no net connection.  (dig, ping, and
telnet work fine)

Everytime I start firefox, it starts in offline mode.  (Meaning, I can
take it out of offline mode, and it works fine, but then if I close it,
and reopen, its back in offline mode.  All in the same session.)

Pidgin seems to fail to connect.  I've been waiting while I type up this
bug report for pidgin to connect.  I've already tested the irc server
using telnet, and (I'm not experienced at that) it says hello,
authenticate, you failed, goodbye.  I also know that if I just disable
and re-enable the account, it will just work.  Its been a few minutes at
this point.

Anyway, its like my GUI programs are being _told_ that there is no net
connection, even though there is.  I've been trying to kill nm-system-
setti, to see if that is the offending program, but I can't!!  It won't
go away!  It just comes right back.
