(Get the code!)
The Network Manager "No network connection" has persisted thru most every daily update of Herd 4. This is 20070301 which may be Herd 5.
Network Manager still says "No network connection" as I enter this message so the Network Manager is obviously wrong.
If Ubuntu wants to have a wide acceptance on the desktop, then the CD Live should, as much as possible, "Just work". With this hardware configuration Dapper and Edgy both come up with the network working. Feisty does not. I have to do a sudo dhclient to get the connection working again. /etc/var/syslog shows Network Manager disabling the network which was already running at that time since the system has already activated DHCP and found the remote nameserver.
Feisty has Network manager which decides to disable the obviously working network card. I don't know what the network developers want for the future of Ubuntu. It would seem to me that they would want more and more configurations to work, not less and less. Yes, I can do a workaround, but an average new user expects it to "just work" like Dapper and Edgy did.
What is the reason Network Manager on CD Live has to disable an already functioning network card?
Thank you, Jerry Amos
