However, Network Manager still says "no network connection" even though there is a connection. 4. I didn't understand why there was no connection after bootup, so looking thru the syslog and networking, I see during boot Ubuntu establishes the network connection and finds the gateway and the nameserver out on the internet so eth0 is functioning fine. Bug #2. Then Network manager decides the Realtek ethernet card (which is already running), "does not support carrier detect" and disables eth0. That's the second bug, Network manager should not disable a perfectly functioning eth0. If the Ubuntu goal is for the "ordinary computer desktop user" to "just run", then Network manager is in this case impeding the goal. My view as a user, anyway.
