Stephan made it clear that he was able to configure his wired interface in the traditional way using ifup. This of course required an "iface eth0" stanza in /etc/network/interfaces.
Stephan has not yet made it clear whether or not removing all references to eth0 from /etc/network/interfaces was enough to get NetworkManager to manage eth0. If NM does manage eth0 under these circumstances then either there is no bug left or perhaps there is a bug in the code that comments things out of /e/n/i. If NM does not manage eth0 under these circumstances then I would start suspecting driver problems --- e.g., carrier detect --- but we can research that when we hear back from Stephan. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/578012 Title: Regression: NetworkManager stopped managing eth0 even though it's not defined in /e/n/i Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: network-manager Since 2010-05-09, my wired ethernet is suddenly unmanaged with the KDE network manager applet hover text is "Unmanaged" ("Unverwaltet" in German) and clicking on it shows only grey text "Network management disabled" ("Netzwerkverwaltung deaktiviert."). I can still get an IP manually through "sudo dhclient eth0". Strange thing is that "Auto eth0" was gone already 2010-05-08, and I had to manually re-add a DHCP wired connection. But as of now, even this does not help. I have attached a recent copy of the daemon.log.
