Networking

[Paolo]

Hello,

I have upgraded Ubuntu 8.04.1 to 8.10 beta on an Advent 4211 (MSI Wind clone).
The LAN has dhcp and I have a network connection.

However, the taskbar icon of the Network Manager has an orange exclamation mark 
and says "No network connection".

If I click on "Edit connections" and go to the wired connection and try to 
change something, I get the message "Updating connection failed: 
nm-ifupdown-connection.c.c82-connection update not supported (read-only)..

I suppose as long as the connection actually does work, that's the main thing. I 
don't understand how to use this new "Network Manager" though.

Anyone else working with this?

Paolo
