Update: seems like even if Network Manager (more specifically nm-applet) says that no network devices could be found, I can still connect to the network and do my thing.
I think this is because eth0 in network-admin is set to "Enable this connection" and DHCP. Of course, disabling this connection also disables it in nm-applet. Can someone confirm this? -- Doesn't bring the network back online when resuming from suspend / hibernate https://launchpad.net/bugs/40125 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
