this little workaround solved the problem for me... http://www.it-blog.net/artikel/67-Probleme-mit-NetworkManager-unter-Ubuntu-8.10.html
in german sorry... but i try to translate: First you should consider whether in the "/etc/Network Manager/nm-system-settings.conf" contain is correct and necessary: [ifupdown] managed=true Now the network settings, it is critical that the Network Manager is running as root . This is possible by using the console executes the command: sudo nm-connection-editor In the next step we must now all under "Wired" Connections delete and then recreate and configure. Is also to advise to call the respective network connection as "ethx" and set as System Preferences. Then you can network managers close again. If the settings correctly, is under /etc/Network Manager/system-connections/ for each connection with a file containing the appropriate settings created. hope this solves the problem... reg wios -- very slow boot after upgrade to 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/295103 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
