Public bug reported:
Affects: gnome-netstatus (Ubuntu)
Severity: Normal
Priority: (none set)
Status: Unconfirmed
Description:
On machines that have multiple NIC's, sometimes network applet displays
the wrong information.
This fixes the netstatus applet to use the correct interfaces.
Interfaces can be eth, or sit.
I include a script with this bug:
#!/bin/sh
# Find the first working network connection and
# configures it in netstatus applet.

Fix the wrong device registered in netstatus applet, and automatically set it
to the first working network connection.
