Aha. Ok, I see the problem (aside from "I read the man page, rather than hunting through /usr/share/doc ;-)
When I upgraded from dapper to edgy, my ethernet interfaces went from eth1/eth2 to eth0/eth1. (I didn't have an eth0 under dapper, for various reasons related to a motherboard swap). It looks like the upgrade updated the interfaces file, but botched it. This is a kinda odd case, I guess, so I can't say I'm suprised it messed it up. Anyway, it's working now. Maybe there should be either a link to that file from nm-applet's "About" window, or the manpage? -- nm-applet always reports "No network connection" https://launchpad.net/bugs/67672 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
