Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
I'm not exactly sure what version triggered this, but it was in the last
few days. Bug 280259 and/or bug 280354 may or may not be related.
My wired network device is eth0. However, it shows up in network-
manager-applet as "Ifupdown (vnet0)". I have vnet0 in
/etc/network/interfaces, marked as "manual", to stop it showing up in
network-manager-applet (I think this may have been to work around an old
bug). Until recently this was fine.
Selecting "Ifupdown (vnet0)" correctly brings up eth0 and my wired
networking then works. This looks as if it's just a display bug, but it
is very confusing.
