Bug Description
I'm using a DSL modem connected through an Ethernet port to connect to the internet.
It used to work smoothly with Gutsy, Hardy and Intrepid but it hasn't been set up correctly during the upgrade to Jaunty and the automatic installation of Network Manager (I didn't use NM with previous versions).
Initially there were no connections defined in Network Manager and "Wired - Device not managed" appeared in gray when right-clicking on the NM-applet icon.
I tried to solve it by changing managed=false to managed=true in /etc/NetworkMan
Thereafter Network Manager automatically detected eth1 and the DSL connection but it's still unable to connect; I always receive the message "Wired Network disconnected - you're now working offline" on a black background.
Hereafter some further information:

Same problem here. :( But I did't upgrade from Intrepid to Jaunty. I directly install from CD (Jaunty).
