I think the issue with DSL is probably that you try to set it up with wireless. That's not yet supported. Is this the case? If not, please file a new bug for that specific problem (using 'ubuntu-bug network- manager', which should let us have all the necessary information to fix the issue). Thanks!
As for your comment that changing configuration files fixed the issue, I'll go ahead and mark this bug Invalid since we can't know the root cause for the issue. ** Changed in: network-manager-applet (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/473150 Title: Network Manager is not running -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
