[Gutsy] upgrade breaks network in roaming mode

[deleted]

Binary package hint: network-manager

Applying the latest updates since the Release Candidate ISO was released causes nm-applet to show that no networks are detected.

Workaround: Disable roaming mode and configure network interface manually

Installed in VMWare 6, with VMWare tools installed.

Requested information supplied. If further information is required, please do not hesitate to comment.

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

please attach your /etc/lsb-release file as well as your /etc/network/interfaces

[deleted (mdeleted2023)]

I'll have to apologise, the release was in fact Gutsy, guess I've been used
to using the Feisty codename for so long eh ;)

I have attached the required files, and included output from ifconfig -a
also.

auto eth0

ok ... unfortunately you haven't posted your /etc/network/interfaces, but twice your lsb-release file :)

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

well ... that setup doesn't capture "roaming mode". Please either remove the iface eth0 file from /etc/network/interfaces ... or enable roaming mode in system -> administration -> network (gnome).

[deleted (mdeleted2023)]

That's the problem,
Doing so causes the network not to be detected according to the nm-applet
I'm using the non-roaming mode as a workaround to get network access.

please mark them for roaming, then do a:

tail -n0 -f /var/log/syslog > /tmp/syslog.log

then in another terminal do a /etc/dbu*/even*/25Networ* restart

... and attach the created /tmp/syslog.log after network manager failed.

I'd like to note that VMWare exposes its network driver as a wired connection.
