Comment 12 for bug 117883

I am running Ubuntu 8.10 with the Kubuntu packages installed. I use switch between ratpoison and kde and so I sometimes manually configure /etc/network/interfaces. When I went back to KDE I had lost of trouble getting my eth0 and eth1(wifi) connecting. Under network manager it said that eth0 was disconnected and eth1 was unmanaged.

I read this thread and decided to rename interfaces. I had to restart X to get it to take affect, but this gave control back to network-manager.

I will probably have to write a script to change out interfaces when I switch between windows managers.
