Bug Description
I have just upgraded my Ubuntu boxes from Hardy to Intrepid. One of them appears to have a problem with NetworkManager -- the problem is new this machien worked fine with Hardy.
Booting happens fine (except for a NIS problem but that is for another report).
NetworkManager appears to start but fails to make any form of connection. Doing a grep on /var/log/syslog reveals that every 2 mins some form of action is being undertaken but the report is:
NetworkManager: <info> Trying to start the supplicant...
NetworkManager: <info> Trying to start the system setting daemon...
nm-tool indicates that eth0 has started correctly, it is just disconnected.
DHCP is working as all the other machines boot fine (as far as I can tell, at least they are connected to the network as they should be).
Sorry I should note that this is a workstation that is failing not a laptop, it only has a wired conenction r8169 driver, and that my filestore is mounted over NFS so I cannot actually login except via a virtual terminal.
