KNetworkManager Wired Issues

[couldbeonthemoon]

Hey--

I'm running gutsy on a thinkpad T61. In KNetworkManager, I accidentally set the configuration of my ethernet connection to auto- dhcp, where before nothing was selected in its "configure device" menu that can be reached through knetworkmanager's manual configuration.

so now, it rarely detects a wired connection, and when it does, it reads "manual configuration" instead of the card that i'm working from. i'm on a college campus wired connection, if that information is helpful.

Thanks!

Re: KNetworkManager Wired Issues

I just had this problem myself. Go to /etc/network/interfaces. It should say something like this:

iface eth1 inet dhcp

iface eth0 inet dhcp

Just delete the dhcp line at the end and you should be okay. It might not be very elegant, and I think there should be a better way.

Although when I did this fix, the radio button is on Manual with the IP field left blank. Maybe that'll work?
