Comment 60 for bug 191889

I get people all the time asking "Why doesn't NetworkManager see my network device?". Every single time it's because that person is using Ubuntu and they have configured that device in "Manual" mode, which is an Ubuntu specific hack and causes me no end of trouble upstream.

I can't help what stupid choices distributions make. The NetworkManager in Fedora, SUSE, and other distros just works when used with FF3. If this is worked around, you understand you're working around _Ubuntu_, not NetworkManager.
