I am working in my laptop with wicd, I have a wired connection as well as a wlan one. Both connections are working smootly.
Now, I am trying to implement NetworkManager. The installation went OK, the daemon is up. However, I do not get NM to work. The Applet says " no network interfaces". nm-tool ( called as root ) shows eth0 with correct data, but says it is not availaible, and wlan0, also not availaible. Trying to solve the problem, I took a look at "system settings -> information sources". There are three network management backends: NetworkManager0.9, wicd and fake net. This looks OK to me. However, "System settings->network settings" shows an empty "network connections" page, with an empty "wired" tag, "wireless" is greyed out, "VPN" is also empty. My feeling is, that before I start working on NetworkManager and friends, I should get the informations about my hardware in the system setting page. Isn't it ? What could be wrong in my configuration, that I cannot get this information ? Where should I start looking at ? Help very appreciated, as "googling" shows a lot of similar problems but no solutions Edgar -- Dr.-Ing.
