ethernet card not detected.

Please attach your /etc/network/interfaces and output of ifconfig -a and screenshots of network manager.

Here is the output, right now I don't have a wifi access so network manager shows no networks, but the LAN cable is plugged. With this configuration there's no networking. But if I add:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
to "interfaces" and restart networking I have a network connection working ok but that's not managed by n-m (in both cases the n-m applet looks like in the screenshots)

Here you can find the screenshots:

I have the same problem.
have a laptop with intel ipw2200 AND broadom bcm4400, using edgy:
If I do not load my wireless driver (ipw2200) at boot then I get the wired network, but no wireless. otherwise I only get wireless. It would be nice to be able to have one tool for both networks (now I use ifplugd and nm). I thing this is a problem if one has more than one net card????

Hi!
I just ound out the problem with mine, hope it helps.
If you comment out every interface line (except lo) of your /etc/network/interfaces file it works.

Does this still occur in dapper? How about in edgy?

sorry, it was in edgy.
 but I couldn't find this bug, to edit it.
The only thing I needed to do is to remove the lines for eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces , now it works.

Configuration error - user needed to remove interface from /etc/network/interfaces

Sorry, as i post in the description in my configuration the lines in /etc/network /interfaces *ARE* commented...
Please look at the comment with the nm-tool output.. the card is not being recognized by network manager

I can't test it on edgy as it is my work laptop and i don't feel like installing development version.

Thank you

Please attach /etc/network/interfaces

maybe your network card doesn't detect if a cable is plugged in or not? did you try ifplugd to test?

Sebastian, can you please attach the results of an "lshal"?

Hi, thanks for the fast replies

Steven: this is how my interface file looks:

sebas@stan:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

#auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp

J: I installed the ifplugd package but i notice no difference. Please take a look to the screenshots at http://www.flickr.com/photos/54218449@N00/ I don't have a "wired network" (red cableada) option, just "wireless network" (red inalambrica)

Scott: I've attached the output of lshal

Thanks again
Sebastian

Can you run a "sudo update-pciids" and copy-paste in your new "lspci -v" results? I think this may be related to bug 54411, and would like to combine the two.

Hal is detecting the net card as wireless, so NM should be picking it up. This bug is subtle and requires more information.

Hi Scott, I did "sudo update-pciids" and attached is the lspci -v output
