Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.5kernel[0] (Not a kernel in the daily directory) and install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages. Once you've tested the upstream

I'm thinking it has to be related to hardware or the kernel module of eth0. I have 3 PC's running identical software (Kubuntu Precise complete up to date): - 1 older laptop - 1 older desktop - 1 brand-new laptop The install was for all three a clean install: no upgrade from the previous release. T

In any case, let's deal with the (main) problem. When eth0 is not mentioned in /e/n/i, NM should configure it regardless of the "managed" setting. But in Frank's case that doesn't happen. In Frank's log (NM 0.9.4.0-0ubuntu4.1) we see: Jun 26 13:50:17 zwaluw NetworkManager[1772]: (eth0): carrie

So the only problem is that eth0 doesn't get configured if /etc/network/interfaces is missing the line "iface eth0 inet dhcp"? And that it fails to get configured both with managed=true and managed=false? Or is there some other problem in addition to this? -- You received this bug notification

No it does not. For me it is not a big problem: with "auto eth0" en "iface eth0 inet dhcp" in /etc/network/interfaces I have a working fixed ethernet connection and with "managed=true" in NetworkManager.conf even the icon on the NetworkManager applet is OK. The only thing is that it does not work

Thanks for the hint. I have changed managed to true in NetworkManager.conf, commented out the "iface eth0 inet dhcp" line and rebooted, but the problem stays. If I uncomment again the "iface eth0 inet dhcp" line then eth0 gets connected and the "fixed line connected" appears. The network manager

Your /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf contains [ifupdown] managed=false In that case, as I understand it, ifupdown will be left in control of interfaces defined in /e/n/i. NM interprets the "auto eth0" as meaning that eth0 should be under ifupdown control, but that line alone
