Hi, This is because you have your network interface defined in /etc/network/interfaces, with the "auto" declaration. This means that Network Manager has no devices to manage, leading to the problem you experience this. To get around this, you can remove the interface definition from your /etc/network/interfaces, or set "managed=true" in /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf.
I'm going to close this as it isn't really a bug, but a configuration issue. Please feel free to report any other issues you find. ** Changed in: network-manager-applet (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- NetworkManager applet misreports status https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/307208 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
