[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#568977: network-manager-gnome: Shows No network connection and The network connection has been disconnected

[John Talbut]

Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 0.7.999-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

The network manager icon shows No network connection when I point to it and if I
right click and disable then re-enable networking I get the disconnected message.

This happened after upgrading Squeeze yesterday.  I have tried using
network-manager 0.7.999-3 and the libnm* 0.7.999-3 packages from unstable but
this makes no difference.

I can manually bring up the wired interface as root.

/etc/network/interfaces:

auto lo
auto lo inet loopback

It makes no difference if I include the line:
auto eth0

/etc/NetworkManager:

[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile

[ifupdown]
managed=true
