Connections not found but eth0 connects
Last modified: 2010-01-30 22:46:11 UTC
Please describe the problem: None of the connections are ever found but somehow eth0 connects. You cant see any information about the connection at all. It works but it acts like there is no connection. This is what i got when i ran nm-tool NetworkManager Tool State: disconnected - Device: eth0 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Type: Wired Driver: sky2 State: unmanaged Default: no HW Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 Capabilities: Carrier Detect: yes Speed: 100 Mb/s Wired Properties Its saying its disconnected, but its not. (I am running Debian Sid) Steps to reproduce: I am not sure, it was like this when i upgraded to 0.7.1. Actual results: n/a Expected results: n/a Does this happen every time? Yes, I tried to restarting it but nothing happens. Other information: This people seem to have the same bug as me... http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Debian/2008-03/msg01863.html
NM reports eth0 as "unmanaged"; see the details in this bug for more infromation. Short version: remove anything to do with eth0 from /etc/network/interfaces, and NM will managed the device. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 589003 ***
