That's fine given that you are using a frontend to manage your interfaces. From one of your other e-mail in this thread, I would strongly suggest to only use one network manager unless you want to play! :) So 'purging' 'NetworkManager' or 'wicd' is your first step, if you don't have the time reinstalling from scratch might be cleaner. -- John Doe
