The single network device appearing to HAL is your Marvell ethernet card. However, in your /etc/network/interfaces you have it configured for static IP operation.
As noted in /usr/share/doc/network-manager/README.Debian, the card needs to either be left unconfigured in the interfaces file or configured as dhcp only. Give that a whirl, and let me know if it works? -- NetworkManager Applet doesn't see active connection https://launchpad.net/bugs/78236 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
