You where right! I was aware that NetworkManager looks at this file and from the googl'ing around I realized that it won't deal with interfaces mentioned there, but the entires that I found there were added by it so I didn't think of removing them. Once I removed all entries (except for the loopback interface) NetowrkManager resurrected from the dead and started working again! It looks like NetworkManager doesn't touch this file any more. It's still in the same state as I edited it. Maybe the old entries were created by Gutsy's (7.10) and somehow broke Hardy's (8.04) together with my tweaking attempts. Thanks very much! --Amos
