That's right. Install squeeze (netinstall, minimal, only base). Reboot. Add packages (e.g., gnome-core, network-manager, gnome-power-manager, etc.). Reboot. Internet works, but network-manager isn't managing it. I remove eth0 from /etc/network/interfaces and reload network-manager. It now manages eth0. Made desktop pretty. Configured to standby after 1 hr. Left computer. Computer went to standby after one hour. When resumed, no eth0 network interface in iwconfig. Network-manager logs have cryptic message about disabling eth0 for "reason 2". Can't rmmod and modprobe eth driver has no effect. service network-mananger restart has no effect. Reboot is only solution to bringing eth0 interface back up. Googling issue suggests its a bug related to network manager's managed versus unmanaged settings regarding interfaces listed in /etc/network/interfaces. I put eth0 back into /etc/network/interaces and tell nm to manage devices in /etc/network/interfaces. Things work well. Desktop is pretty. When resuming from suspend, network interace is brought back up by n-m and connects normally. Take laptop to kitchen, reboot at some point, and boot-up process is slowed down while dhcp tries to obtain an ip address. This delays boot by about a minute while it tries and tries and tries and fails to get an ip address, and it won't ever get one because it's not connected to the network. Hopefully this is better summary of problem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
