Comment 67 for bug 82927

Also with the current status of hardy the network-manager is heavily broken! I'm afraid that we lose a lot of users because this point. For me it gives a windows feeling ;-(

Following things happens on my notebook:

1. sometimes it deactivates the working lan (eth0) connection as described one year before
2. it always forget the configuration from the WLAN settings - changing from wpa2 to wpa and forget the password
3. if I try to disable one of the interfaces (click on checkbutton wlan or lan) , you have to wait and after this both connections are activated or disactivated or activated.....
4. to avoid this strange things I deinstalled the network-manager, now the network works fine from the interfaces file
BUT beside the network connection on the command line works well firefox is always offline!
So last greatings from the nm? I don't find the gnome (?) settings to tell firefox that we are online.

I'm using Linux now several years, but to repair the network connections after each reboot makes me very unhappy and for new users unusable.
In the moment nm is a real show stopper.
