Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
Hi I am on Network Manager 0.7 using 64bit 8.10 Ubuntu rc1
>uname -a
Linux uber-ubuntu 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Fri Oct 24 06:40:41 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux
>apt-cache policy network-

Installed: 0.7~~svn2008102
Candidate: 0.7~~svn2008102
Version table:
*** 0.7~~svn2008102
500 http://
100 /var/lib/
If I place an entry in my /etc/network/
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
Then I don't even get a Network Manager applet in my Tray
Here are the interesting bits from my /var/log/syslog

Does the applet reappear if you do:
sudo /etc/init. d/NetworkManage r stop d/NetworkManage r start
sudo /etc/init.
?
If thats the case is NetworkManager process running when applet is not visible?
