OK, got caught by l10n: the French translation is ambiguous, since “n'est pas gérée” can be understood both ways; and it's usual to do “supported” → “géré” rather than “supporté” (which is considered as an anglicism). > > Let me know if I can send you more input, or test other versions (source > > packages are OK). > > Could you describe in more detail, what your actual problem is? It's actually more subtle than I thought: nm reports that there's no connection, so liferea, epiphany, etc. went in disconnected mode; since I called “dhclient eth0”, I've got a connection back. To check nm does its job, I down'd the interface (“ifconfig eth0 down”), and restarted nm, but nm doesn't look like wanting to re-up it. I could try after a fresh restart if you like, but it really sounds like nm isn't considering the interface. > What does your /e/n/i look like?

FWIW (since network drivers are concerned), I'm using a mailine kernel (2.6.28-rc7-kibi-00200-gf7a8db8). Cheers, -- Cyril Brulebois
