I'm having a problem with NM itself, not drivers or networking. eth0
comes up manually (ifup eth0). wlan0 comes up fine manually, or with
wifi-radar.

Hardy heron 8.04 from dvd iso, apt-get update 31 Mar. Rm'd all .gconf*
.gnome* subdirs; removed, installed network-manager, rebooted, same
result. dbus seems happy.

NetworkManager (via nm-applet I guess, in the panel) behaves most
strangely. Upon open (click applet in gnome panel) the "Connection
properties eth0" dialog appears. Note device name in title. "eth0"
appears in the devicename window, yet it is not in the pulldown; click
CONFIGURE gets "The interface does not exist" dialog box. Same thing for
wlan0. The only interface in the pulldown is lo. My
/etc/network/interfaces is:

[CODE]
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
iface eth0 inet dhcp
[/CODE]


/usr/share/doc/network-manager/README has wrong? info? says if "interfaces ARE 
in /etc/network/interfaces NM will NOT manage it. Tried all ways, no change.

System -> Administration -> Network shows roaming wifi, wired, pointtopoint. 
There's checkboxes to the left of each; wired is checked. If I uncheck it, it 
comes back hecked few seconds later! Can't check roaming wifi. Never paid 
attention to the checkbox before, no idea what it means or is for.
