network-manager doesn't connect automatically to a wired ethernet (dhcp)

[latrom]

Binary package hint: network-manager

After upgrading from jaunty to karmic and setting up the wired dhcp connection through the gnome panel applet, the system doesn't automatically connect to the wired network. I have to use dhcp manually to have a connection.

after purging the network-manager package it started working, oh well.

And for some reason the fix was only temporary.
