Binary package hint: network-manager

Hi,

I'm running ubuntu intrepid ibex (8.10). Networkmanager is unable to setup my wired connection via dhcp. Let me explain the problem in detail.

I have two profile wired profiles in NewtworkManager: "Galileo2" with a fixed ip, and "Fastweb cavo" with dhcp (work and home).

When I boot at home, NM set theGalileo2 profile by default. At this point, if I switch to the dhcp profile, the applet says I'm connected to "Fastweb cavo" but I cannot reach Internet. The NM log of this situation is reported in nm_not_working.log.

Furthermore the card at this point is "blocked" and I cannot connect even if I manually type "sudo dhclient eth0" in a terminal. The dhclient output is reported in dhclient_not_working.log. I have to reboot be be able to connect to internet again.

On the other and, if I boot AND do not touch the NM applet, and manually set the eth0 connection with "sudo dhclient eth0" I'm able to connect to Internet regularly. The NM log and the dhclient output in this case is reported respectively in nm_working.log and in dhclient_working.log
