Well I got NM to replace wicd, and then I was unable to get
NM to even connect to a wired Internet. Worried about this a
little and tried to view /etc/network/interfaces and was
horrified to see I had a lot of weird things in operation. I
got the joe editor working and got looking like this:
karl at Jaunty:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# iface eth0 inet static
# address 192.168.2.6
# netmask 255.255.255.0
# gateway 192.168.0.1
# auto eth0
# auto lo
# auto eth1
# auto eth0
# iface lo inet loopback
# iface eth1 inet dhcp
# iface eth0 inet static
# address 192.168.2.6
# netmask 255.255.255.0
Then The NM worked. First thing out of the box I did this:
$ sudo apt-get install wicd
And now all is cool on 9.04
