I have the same problems you have, but I would like to add an observation: - Using a Static IP will cause the applet to say Not Connected (as everyone has experienced already) - Even when Using DHCP, NetworkManager Applet works randomly, sometimes it even says there are no network devices. - ifconfig reports that my eth0 interface has been properly configured via DHCP. - I can ping to any IP address successfully. - Cannot ping to a hostname.
Could it be that the dns-client service (or whatever it's called) is not being re-initialized properly? Rebooting the system will make it work again. I hope this information helps. -- network-manager should not set offline mode when it manages no device https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/82335 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a bug contact for knetworkmanager in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
