[ubuntu-uk] Too many networks!? Ubuntu gets confused ...

[Daniel Quarte]

     Hi Ashley,

     I am running Ubuntu 6.10 with network-manager-gnome. As far as I know,
on network manager i can only configure wireless connections and can't turn
the wired connections off without turning wireless off as well.
     I've tried to reinstall the network manager, but without success.
     Any other suggestions?

    Thanks.

    Daniel
