Comment 13 for bug 262817

Hi,

The facts:
--------------
yesterday i'd setup a new hardy system, dhcp and internet access worked out of the box

then, i used knetwork manager to configure another (not working) adsl modem
--> here network manager may have updated config files

i switched back to the working adsl modem, dhcp was still working

Big problem appears after upgrading to intrepid : DHCP didn' work anymore
--> i check my nm config file: i had the expected value : user="root" , problem wasn't here !
--> i switched back to hardy network manager (using a little set of .deb files : libnm, networkstatus, network-manager , network-manager-kde ..) -> DHCP works again :)

I can confirm:
 - my problem wasn't due to manual modification of network manager config files (setup hardy, upgrade to intrepid on the same day) !
 - it looks like an issue of networkmanager configuration ( either a hardy network manager problem; or an upgrade problem)

PS: i'm using kubuntu but the problem seems not restricted to that flavour of ubuntu ..
