Public bug reported:
After upgrading Xubuntu from 8.04LTS to 8.10 wired networking is broken.
NetworkManager shows a red X on it's icon and left clicking on it shows
"Wired Network" followed by "device is unmanaged". The network device is
the common on-board Intel Ether Pro 100 and worked without problems
before the upgrade. ifconfig shows that eth0 is getting an IP address
from DHCP but etc/resolv.conf has only the single line "# Generated by
NetworkManager" in it. The local DHCP server is providing correct DNS
information to all other clients on the network and so is not likely to
be the problem.
At this point I suspect the upgrade process corrupted some configuration
settings. However, neither I nor anyone in the forums has been able to
identify those settings. My only option now is to reformat and reinstall
from scratch. I will try to report back as to whether that fixes it.
