NM uses udev to find devices. However here NM can't recognize devices, they don't probably set up sysfs correctly. What drivers and kernel version do you use? Can you run: $ lspci -nn | grep Network $ lspci -nn | grep Ethernet I see in the logs: Linux version 2.6.26-2-686 (Debian 2.6.26-27) ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.1.3 20080704 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.2-25)) #1 SMP Wed Sep 21 04:35:47 UTC 2011 sky2 driver for eth0 NDIS for wlan0 (wlan0: ethernet device 00:23:4e:36:29:0a using NDIS driver: bcmwl5, version: 0x4aa190c, NDIS version: 0x501, vendor: 'NDIS Network Adapter', 14E4:4315.5.conf) I suggest you upgraded to a final release. Links for drivers: http://wiki.debian.org/sky2 http://wiki.debian.org/bcm43xx Also, would you provide output for commands in these links: * https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/6/22/9 * http://markmail.org/message/2jmsthtvpod3dkfw Jirka > On 11/17/11, Dan Williams <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Thu, 2011-11-17 at 09:25 -0500, Githin Alapatt wrote: > >> I recently upgraded from lenny to squeeze.
