Bug Description

Hi,

I have been using the networkmanager 0.70 deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/network-manager/ubuntu hardy main

This has lateley not detected my fixed network address but have been finding DHCP address and that way been working.

This morning it found my fixed IP-address and called it ifupdown(etho), this cannot be edited and the applet shows no network connection. Some programs gets access to internet anyhow others not. Firefox detecs missing connection and goes offline. forcing it to on-line makes it working. Pidgin on other hand cannot gain access to internet.

I have removed this and trying to install

sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  network-manager-gnome: Depends: libnm-util0 but it is not going to be installed
                         Depends: network-manager (>= 0.6.5) but it is not going to be installed

network-manager 0.6.6ubuntu5 is installed.

Tested and to no avail.

Now the net-work-manager system tray icon is not shown at all.
