My apologies.  In any event the main point of the bug report stands, as
the network control panel can create configurations that confuse the
network manager.  Perhaps if network manager could be made to notice
existing connections (since it apparently does not require X and
therefore should be able able to play nice with other non-X networking)?

If it is already *supposed* to do this, then this is a different bug
than I thought.  If that is the case, is it fixed in lenny? (It doesn't
do this in etch on my system, and from google I'm not the only one).

Regards,

Daniel
