Bug Description
Binary package hint: knetworkmanager
I am using a USB Port Replicator for my Thinkpad T61p's ethernet and PS/2 connections. Upon startup KNetworkManager will not fail over from usb0 to eth1. It did fail over in 7.10.
This is not an earth-shattering problem; it is only annoying. I just simply issue a sudo dhclient or select eth1 in KNetworkManager by right-mouse-
If there is a configuration workaround, I would gladly test it for you. I am posting some information from ifconfig. If you want anything else, please let me know.
Thanks.

I have confirmed this behavior does not happen with KNetworkManager in 7.10.
