2008-10-08 22:54:02 Mackenzie Morgan network-manager: statusexplanation Is nm-applet disabled when you try to connect or did you disable it after connecting failed? And how are you finding "Wireless Networks: Device is unmanaged" if nm-applet is disabled? I'm rather confused by your explanation.

2008-10-08 23:47:01 Mackenzie Morgan description Binary package hint: network-manager Basically the title is self explanatory. I can't connect to the internet using wireless using network manager. I have to use the terminal.

Clicking on it shows that all interfaces are in "unmanaged" mode so that Network Manager has no control over them. This occurs without the user making any changes to the interfaces. User has not manually set the devices into unmanaged mode. How to correct it in the Network Manager -> Edit Connections dialog is unclear.

2008-10-08 23:47:01 Mackenzie Morgan title "Device is unmanaged" under "Wireless Networks". nm-applet is Disabled Network Manager claims devices are unmanaged

2008-10-08 23:47:55 Mackenzie Morgan network-manager: statusexplanation Is nm-applet disabled when you try to connect or did you disable it after connecting failed? And how are you finding "Wireless Networks: Device is unmanaged" if nm-applet is disabled? I'm rather confused by your explanation. I'm marking this confirmed since now that you explained it, yeah, this is exactly the bug I'm seeing.

2008-10-08 23:52:55 Mackenzie Morgan network-manager: statusexplanation I'm marking this confirmed since now that you explained it, yeah, this is exactly the bug I'm seeing. I'm marking this Critical since some NM update just made the network unusable to anyone that doesn't know how to connect from the command line, and networking is pretty darned important.

Whatever updates occurred in the last day set all the devices to managed=false in /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf Change that and "sudo killall nm-system-settings" and it'll start working again.
