Leon, I can't help you with any of you error messages because
I just don't know enough about networking configuration.
However, there seems to be many issues with network manager
in several versions of ubuntu, hardy and intrepid included.
In my case, I purged NM and installed wicd and my connection
issues disappeared. The NM topic has been discussed plenty on
the list lately. If you purge NM it will remove ubuntu-desktop
which isn't a problem and if you reinstall NM it will bring
Ubuntu-desktop back and remove wicd; just so you'll know. I've
been very pleased with wicd vs. NM and don't think I'll go
back to NM unless it's fixed.  HTH.
