Public bug reported:
This is in Feisty..
NetworkManager will only work with auto dhcp interfaces. This is a
problem when using the default install of feisty. I have a static wired
interface, however - NetworkManager tells me I am not connected (and
that it cannot find any devices). The problem with this is evolution
will start in 'offline' mode when I run the default gnome desktop of
feisty.
To get around this for the time being I have disabled NetworkManager (by
putting 'exit' into /etc/default/NetworkManager and
/etc/default/NetworkManagerDispatcher).
Are we able to get NetworkManager to at least recognise interfaces that
it chooses not to control?
Another side effect of this issue: If you choose to 'create static' (not
sure of exact text) in the context menu of the NetworkManager tray
applet and configure your interface, it will then say that you are not
connected because the modified interface is no longer recognised.
