NetworkManager Tool
State: unknown

However it works fine when run as the root user.
A further symptom of the same thing (I think) is that the Network Manager applet is
non-functional, the icon is there on the panel but it just tells me "Network Manager
is not running...". However Network Manager is running and I do have an internet
connection.

Did you configure the network using Network Manager or editing
/etc/network/interfaces? If the latter then my experience is that
Network Manager won't work right.<br>
