I'm seeing this problem as well. I have a single Ethernet interface that is configured with a static IP address, and network-manager reports that I have no network interfaces. I'm running Feisty (newly upgraded from Egdy, which was in turn newly upgraded from Dapper).
Brian Murray said: "NetworkManager will not manage any interfaces that are configured in '/etc/network/interfaces' as yours is. If you leave only the 'auto' and 'iface' line you should be able to use knetworkmanager to statically configure your interface." This confuses me. I assume "configured...as yours is" means that it has a static IP set up in /etc/network/interfaces. That statement seems to imply that the user has configured the file in a nonstandard way. Mine is that way, but I didn't create that file. To make sure, I actually moved /etc/network/interfaces and rebooted. I then used the System->Administration->Network menu item to set up the interface again. Guess what it did? It recreated /etc/network/interfaces with a static IP address, and now network-manager once again can't find the interface. By the way, I'm running Gnome, not KDE, so I don't have knetworkmanager. It's pretty clear I'm using the Ubuntu-intended applet for configuring the interface, but according to Brian Murray's info, that applet configures the interface in such a way that makes network-manager unhappy. It doesn't really bother me too much that network-manager can't find the interface. Best I can tell, my setup doesn't even need network-manager (everything is static in my setup). However, a less savvy user is going to be disturbed by an icon on the desktop that says "No network connection". This bug is marked "info needed".
