NetworkManager will set the device to unmanaged mode by default if you have it configured in /etc/network/interfaces. So either remove your configuration from there (NM should allow you to do almost everything nowadays) or set NM in managed mode (e.g. in /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf) > > Everytime I start firefox, it starts in offline mode.

Yes, thats a known issue of "unmanaged" mode and will be addressed soon i hope. - Alexander -- [MASTER 0.7 regression] atheros/madwifi and orinoco drivers not supported https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/259157 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
