[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#615249: network-manager is not aware of full functional wired network

[gerard]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.8.1-6
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Network manager (0.8.1-6) is not aware of the full functional wired network on
my SAMSUNG NC10 running Debian6-i386. Therefore my mail program Clawsmail
always starts in offline mode. There could be a security risk I imagine if the
network is functional when a user is not aware of this.
This problem did not exist in the Mint-Linux from 2010 (based on the testing
debian version of that time).
This error does not exist on the Samsung R710 running Debian6-amd64.


My patch for this problem is:
-removing Networkmanager
-installing:
 wicd 1.7+dsl-5
wicd-curses 1.7+dsl-5
wicd-gtk 1.7+dsl-5


I cant test the wireles network at home so that has to wait until next week.
