I need help from you folks administering Ubuntu systems. On my wife's
laptop only the wireless connections are seen (here and in the
neighborhood). The topmost portion, wired networks, says there aren't any
although I have an ethernet cable connecting the box to the local router.

   I tried running NetworkManager and was told it's already running. Next, I
tried 'lfconfig -a' and saw eth0 as well as lo and wlan0. When I ran
'ifup eth0' I saw 'Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0' which makes no
sense to me.

   What do I do to have the NetworkManager see the wired connection when a
cat5 cable is plugged in and all that interface to be used instead of the
wirelss one?
