Running updated wheezy on a thinkpad T420i w/ xfce DE. With great embarrassment, after stoutly defending nm, eth0 no longer connects. This only happens when I run wheezy. The connection is fine when I run the other distros on the hdd, squeeze and ubuntu 12.04. Under wheezy it also happens when the laptop is hard wired directly to the cable modem.

Don't know how to approach trouble shooting this.
