Wired network shows disconnected but networking works.

[TyBauz]

Ubuntu 12.04 - When I boot up I get a "connection established" message for my wired network. I can browse the web, etc and everything works fine. The problem is that when I clieck on the network manager it shows "Wired Network disconnected" and will not let me connect to my VPN until I disable networking then re-enable it.

I deleted the wired network then added it again. After a reboot it seems to work OK and does not require me to disable networking and renabling it just to connect to my VPN.

[TyBauz (tyler-lilya)]

Never mind. That only lasted for a few reboots. The problem has returned.

Sorry, I don't understand what the cause of the issue might be here.

Would you be able to attach some extra information? Basically, I would need:

- a screenshot of the menu showing the problem;
- contents of /var/log/syslog when you see the issue; and
- the output of the nm-tool command at the time.
