Comment 49 for bug 256054

I think I reported a side effect of this "fix". An upgrade from a perfectly normal and fresh Hardy installation results in having eth0 unmanaged. Why a *managed* network must become unmanaged by virtue of an upgrade?
By the way, KNetworkManager ignores not only Interfaces, but itself! There is no way to have a Kubuntu beta live CD connected to a dhcp-less ethernet. The card is detected, up and working and ifconfig + route allowed me to connect to my router.
I hope you do not intend to ship this as is, you are going to break many systems.
