"I'd say this is a network-manager rather than an applet problem since
nm-tool cannot report any working interfaces."

Well, I guess it depends. The earlier comment seems to imply that the
problem is not with network-manager, but with the contents of
/etc/network/interfaces. It says that removing that file then using
knetworkmanager to set up the interface again will fix the problem
(presumably by putting something different in /etc/network/interfaces
and handling the static config some other way).

I don't have knetworkmanager. My point is that for me it's the Gnome
applet, not me, that's setting up /etc/network/interfaces. I don't know
how the Ubuntu designers intended this all to work. It could go either
way. If the root of the error is indeed what we've been discussing (that
network-manager can't handle a static entry in /etc/network/interfaces),
then either network-manager needs to be fixed so that it _can_ handle
that, or the Ubuntu-standard configuration tools need to set up the
system in a way that network-manager can handle.

*shrug* I don't know which it is. I just wanted to chime in, because it
was beginning to look like the bug was going to get set aside with the
assumption that it only happens when somebody hand-edits
/etc/network/interfaces. That's not the case.
