Regression: network-manager does not show network

[Shirish Agarwal]

Binary package hint: network-manager

Hi all,
       This is after the latest update of network-manager 0.6.4-6ubuntu5 network managers shows no connection while the network-monitor is able to show the speed & things like that. In essence the network is functioning. I did 2 clean shut-downs & restarts but same result.

   Below I have given the desktop screenshot which shows the network moving with the help of system monitor as well as network monitor while network-manager is showing as no network connection.

Please look at the lower right icon, you can see the network-manager is showing as no network connection while network monitor is happily giving all the details.

Same occurs for me.

Changed status to confirmed - the new version of network-manager also fails to show that the connection is active here, when ifconfig clearly shows that eth0 is connected:

$ ifconfig eth0

          inet addr:192.168.1.100 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

Same problem here, with

Package: network-manager
State: installed
Automatically installed: no
Version: 0.6.4-6ubuntu5

possible extra useful information comes from

$ dmesg |grep eth0
[ 6.176000] e1000: eth0: e1000_probe: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection
[ 17.288000] e1000: eth0: e1000_request_irq: Unable to allocate MSI interrupt Error: -22
[ 17.292000] e1000: eth0: e1000_watchdog: NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full Duplex
[ 17.292000] e1000: eth0: e1000_watchdog: 10/100 speed: disabling TSO

Indeed boot times are much longer now: first I get the fishy message "e1000_request_irq: Unable to allocate MSI interrupt Error: -22", and then the PC hangs for a while when it tries to configure network interfaces...

Maybe a dupe of bug #105234 ?
