Bug Description

Binary package hint: network-manager

I have just upgraded Hardy->Intrepid. On booting, the kernel reports "Starting NetworkManager [Fail]".

The nm-applet, however, shows a wired connection "ifconfig (usb)", but I can't see anything on the network, not even the router.

Under Hardy, I had a nameserver entry in /etc/resolv.conf, which nm under Intrepid removes if I replace it. The applet does not allow me to add the nameserver, giving me a readonly error message.

Sorry if this is a bit vague. I now have to boot into XP to access the internet.
