The ethernet works fine without network-manager, it gets the ip
address from the dhcp and everything works just fine. The problem is
when I install network manager i comment all interfaces except "lo"
interface and network-manager doesn't show the wired network option
and ifconfig just shows the lo interface.
Wireless works great...
Using the wireless connection ifconfig shows lo and eth1
information... without wireless it shows only lo information as
follows:

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
          RX packets:5 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:5 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:272 (272.0 b)  TX bytes:272 (272.0 b)


Please help me on how to debug this problem, I don't know what to
post.. and don't want to open an useless bug

Thanks
