Title: network-manager says 'Networking system disabled' while it has no reason to be disabled Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Binary package hint: network-manager At boot, eth0 does not get an IP address. I'm using /home on NFS, so I have to run dhclient manually. This works. Within KDE, network-manager-kde says 'Networking system disabled' when restarting the network-manager service.
