Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager-gnome
In my laptop (sony vaio vgn-fs415M) and ubuntu hardy heron 32 bit (kernel
2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP ) I have two network ports:
- eth0 (wi-fi port)
- eth1 (utp port)
I bootstrap my system with wi-fi switch to off (so wi-fi is disabled) and utp
cable connected to eth1 port (already manually configured). nm-applet (version
0.6.6) shows to me that the connection is active (the icon shows two black
monitor with no red triangle). In fact if I try some tests from command line
all is ok. But if I want to disable networking and I do this with checking the
nm-applet option "Enable networking" I correctly see a red triangle in the
nm-applet icon but the connection is still active.
The issue is due to the fact that nm-applet disabled eth0 interface (in fact if
I type "ifconfig" from command line I see nomore eth0 ) but not eth1 (maybe
because eth0 come before eth1 and nm-applet only disable one interface, that is
the first ordered in the system).
The result is that the user thinks that it is not connected, while the
connection is still active.
