Gutsy as of 20070618 has network manager problem with same symptoms as Feisty.
1. Network manager disables Realtek ethernet card during boot. No reason to do that since it works fine.
2. After boot, the applet shows a red mark and passing the cursor over it says no network connection.
3. Using "The Official Ubuntu Book" method of sudo dhclient, the card comes up and the network works fine.
4. Network manager still reports "no network connection" even as the browser and ethernet card work fine.
5. Manually clicking on the network manager applet, clicking on the wired connection, and then clicking off the balloon does get it running with the proper indication; why on earth do I have to do three manual clicks with Gutsy and Fesity when Dapper and Edgy don't need it?
