lo interface, is only available in gnome-network applet

[Martin Willemoes Hansen]

HP NC4200, Dapper 3

There is 3 interfaces available right after install, eth0 (wifi), eth1 (wired) and lo

But in the network applet, only lo is availabe in the dialog, I have to enter eth0 or eth1 manualy to configure them.

This is not the case in Dapper Flight 5, now the interface selected to be the default during install and the local interface is available. But the interface eth0 (wired) is still not available.

Eth0 is not configured either.

I believe the network applet shows interfaces only if they are connected.

So is it fixed now ?

[Martin Willemoes Hansen (mwh)]

lo and my wifi interface is available .. but not my nic

[Stanz (stanz)]

Are you able to test or switch the nic, to be sure it's working?

[Martin Willemoes Hansen (mwh)]

Umh, my nic works nicely when configured. The problem is that it does not show up in the applet when it is not configured. IE one cant select it to configure it.

Same issue with Edgy 2

[Mackenzie Morgan (maco.m)]

Comment out (with #) everything but lo in /etc/network/interfaces. If I recall correctly, that's how you get the applet to take over for that stuff instead of the little thing in Settings > Administration > Networking doing it
