It turns out that question number one (why the eth0 stuff ended up in /etc/network/interfaces) was already covered by bug 388060 (an issue with casper).
As for the second issue however, about the valid interface (a wifi card) not showing, it still seems a valid problem. Some more digging around turned up that by using nm-tool, I could still see the wlan0 card. So this is either a problem solely in nm-applet, or in the combination of NetworkManager and nm-applet. I will attach the output of nm-tool and nm-applet. -- Network connection fails on fresh install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/678450 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
