Hi Guys,
I have an onboard RTL 8139 NIC with Wake on LAN Disabled,
with Dual Boot XP on a Intel 845 Chipset motherboard.
Earlier when I booted into KUbuntu the NIC was never detected
and I noticied that Manage Network Connections, did not have a Default eth0
connection created, so I added a new connection and named it Auto eth0
and I modified interfaces and resolve.conf files and now the state of the issue is this :
On Hovering over the Network Manager Widget displays eth0 : Unmanaged
Clicking on it shows Networking Interface[Not updated yet] - IP Address : dum.my.ip.addr
Moreover the option "System Connection" below "Connect Automatically"
is disabled >
I have only one NIC and am assigning a Static IP
I have tried iamme@incognito:~$ /etc/init.d/networking restart
and when I try to open sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager nothing happens
I had Ubuntu earlier and it had no problem
detecting an connecting to the interface, so I believe this
could not be a driver issue.
Here are my modified files
Is there anything else I could try to resolve this, besides either waiting for
Karmic Koala to release or switch back to Ubuntu.
Though that would be a workaround and not an resolution.
I really like the KDE desktop and would love to have this resolved.
Thanks for all the help you provide, in advance.
