I'm marking this Invalid -- if you find that the above doesn't solve your issue, please file a *new* bug using the "ubuntu-bug network- manager-gnome" command. Thanks. ** Changed in: network-manager-applet (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/369965 Title: nm-applet doesn't show all wired networks -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
