My nm-applet icon is shown with a red square having a diagonal cross in it. Hovering over it the tooltip "No network connection" appears. After issuing the command 'sudo dhclient eth0' I have LAN access via eth0 but the nm-applet's look remains the same. (If I de-assert System >Preferences > Network Manager and reboot, there will appear no nm-applet. But if I issue the command 'sudo dhclient eth0' I will have LAN access via eth0.) Right-click in the nm-applet > Edit Connections... > Network Connections > Wired allows me to add an entry 'eth0' with the parameters 'MAC address=00:04:0E:6A:0C:C6' MTU=automatic, Address=164.168.178.24, Netmask=255.255.255.0 Gateway=0.0.0.0, 'DNS Servers=192.168.178.1' but this entry shows always a 'never' state report.
