Comment 11 for bug 289610

I do not understand in which sense this could possibly be a duplicate of
bug 289466. I run KDE, not gnome, and I have no problem whatsoever with
the applet.

My problem is connected with eth0 and the interplay between the kernel
and the network manager: As soon as the dhcp negotiation is ready and
the eth0 is supposed to be made public, somebody (the kernel?) decides
to shut down the port and start all over again. As a result, I have no
connection to the internet while running intrepid. See the enclosed
piece of the syslog.

My physical connection is the following: The eth0 port is connected to a
Zyxel homepna modem, which is then connected by telehpone wire to the
server in the basement of our 6 story house. It seems like the kernel
reset (that you find in the syslog) causes the Zyxel modem to go off
line, which then starts the process all over again.
