there is gnome network manager, which gives status (and comes with normal buntu)... this can be added to ubuntustudio though if needed, also, ubuntustudio pacakges can be added to normal buntu if a more normal desktop setup is preferred... *not* including the network manager with ubuntustudio is actually considered a feature since using it can cause xruns... however, this is a constant point of confusion and comes up often in the IRC... i'll see about getting this marked 'wishlist' and bring it up next meeting... anyone know if wicd is a viable option?

Status in Ubuntu Studio: New Bug description: As per the title, STUDIO seems oblivious to Ethernet/Network going down or being unplugged - - - With the Ethernet/Network RJ-45 unplugged : 1) The Updater will claim to have checked successfully for updates. 2) Firefox will wait until timeout, with out advising that there is no Network connection. Suggest an ICON showing Network status. Then the system can refer tot this ICON module in its activities and be more clever about interpreting the outside world. Maybe this is a Ubuntu thing ??
