I would not have complained if that was really the case. The problem is that NetworkManager kills my eth0 and then nm-applet does not offer any way to get network connectivity back. If I restart NetworkManager later, it suddenly works, which is not consistent in its own right. I believe that NetworkManager should have two absolute requirements: 1. if any device is touched at all by NetworkManager, then nm-applet must be visible 2. a restart of NetworkManager may not change nm-applet's view of the NM state. BTW: my "wanted" operation mode for NM would be to leave my wired connection's initial state alone, or at least leave the /etc/network/interfaces decision on the default interface active. I'd like to use NM for wireless, and I'd be ok to use it for wired (if it'd work). -- [intrepid] network manager must be restarted after every boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/291564 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
