The goal of Network Manager is to make networking invisible. If it can work and it figures out how, it Just Works, otherwise it Just Gives Up. My guess is that there is some physical or PEBKAC problem that Network Manager can't compensate for.
In Ubuntu, if I am doing diagnosis, I just turn off Network Manager like so: sudo stop network-manager With Network Manager off: ip addr which should give you some information about the interfaces known. dhclient <iface-name-of-your-ethernet> and see what happens. When I want to start Network Manager back up, I do: sudo start network-manager -- Russell Senior, President [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
