Do you mean removing eth0? My internet connection has always worked; however, I've never had the nm-applet running in the notification area. The only way to make it show up is to run command "sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart". This puts the network manager in the notification area although it shows no physical connection. This whole time though actually having a connection. I only need it up there so I can connect and disconnect my vpn as I allways have in Hardy. Does this still sound like your issue?
