NetworkManager keeps reporting "Wired Network Disconnected" on Pandaboard -- smsc95xx

[Gema Gomez]

Installing today's image on a Pandaboard, without a wired network, connected to the wireless and network manager got all confused and kept reporting that "Wired Network Disconnected". It thought for a while it was actually connected to a wired network.

Will attach two pictures of the problem.

Despite being connected to the wireless, the moving icon of searching for a network/connecting to it kept flipping.

Adding the sample images. My wireless network is called MIRED. The wired network I don't know where it comes from, because there was no cable attached to the board

[Gema Gomez (gema)]

This message keeps appearing.

[Oliver Grawert (ogra)]

if you see this issue the next time, could you also attach the dmesg output ? i belive this is not network manager but the kernel driver going mad.

[Thomas Hood (jdthood)]

NM thinks that a cable is connected to the Ethernet interface; it then does DHCPDISCOVER but gets no answer, times out, and reports "Wired Network Disconnected". Probably either the hardware or the driver is misrepresenting the carrier state.

[Thomas Hood (jdthood)]

Could it have something to do with the foillowing?

also, from a command line execute:

and

sudo mii-tool eth0

(install the necessary tools in not already present)
