I did assume the wired network should be available on plugging in a
network cable but it failed.
I meant to find a workaround to get the wired link work so I did the
manual configuration. If a workaround is found, we may lower the severity.

Subject: [Bug 247478] Re: Classmate PC fails to connect a wired LAN.
for dhcp you should not do anything but plug in a network cable, if you
want to forcefully make the network card getting a new dhcp ip address,
right click the NM applet, uncheck "enable networking", check it again
and it will scan for an IP.
the manual configuration part should only be used if you actually do
manual configuration of a static IP ...
roaming isnt involved in wired networking at all ...
even though teh bove mentiond actions are a bit confusing, i can confirm
that dhcp doesnt get picked up as it should if i follow the documented
standard way.
