[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#613053: Network-manager: device not managed

[Ivaylo Mateev]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.8.1-6
Severity: important

With the live-cd the network interfaces were managed correctly, but after the
install network-manager is not working correctly on 3 different machines. (so
this is a bug)

The Network-manager dose not see any connection, but the NIC is working fine.
This can be bad if one wishes to use network-manager to connect to vpn for
example.

On the one machine there are two Intel NICs, after starting the second one from
the BIOS it gets managed as eth1 by Network-Manager eth0 is till up (it is a
PCI NIC) and still connected but Network-Manager dose not manage it.
