Bug Description

Binary package hint: network-manager

Hi,

I upgraded to Ubuntu 9.04.

When I right-click on the network manager and choose "Configure networks", I can see more wired networks than I see when I left-click the applet.

In the beginning it just disappeared when I edited the wired connection. So I had to delete it, and make a new one. But later on that didn't even work anymore.

I don't know if that worked on Ubuntu 8.10, I never had to do this till now.

I don't know if this is related but, when I turn my VPN on, everything shows I have a good VPN connection. But I can't access the websites for which I need the VPN. This did work in Ubuntu 8.10.

Hi,

I would like to add the following: when my laptop is connected with eth0, it still wants to connect wireless. I made a screencapture of this. (Normally I just disable wireless connection, if I'm plugged in)

So that actually makes it three strange behaviours of the network-manager:
- doesn't remember wired networks other than "auto eth0"
- VPN connects but nothing changes in behaviour
- Both wired and wireless connections.

I did a fresh install of Ubuntu Jaunty yesterday, but without erasing my /home, which is on another partition, than "/".

Thanks!

I have the same problem with NM since 8.10. Some days ago I tried to setup my UPS using the "megatec_usb" driver through out nut, so I discovered this commands:

sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
sudo udevadm trigger

It reloads the udev rules and NM shows that I'm connected to a wired network using eth1.

I'm using Jaunty
