about how to go about doing this?


If networkmanager is running I assume you are logged into a desktop
environment that has some kind of netowork manager applet (in the status 
notification area in gnome for example). That applet can be used to
configure it and make it use particular interfaces.
Well, actually right now I'm logged in remotely via ssh -- the machine's at home and I'm at work. Last night, after booting, from the console, I ran "ifdown eth1 ; ifup eth1" and it brought things back to normal. So ssh-ing in is possible -- until the next reboot. 

Given that (which may alter the results) "nm-tool" says:


rick@debian:~$ nm-tool

When I do "man NetworkManager" I get a fairly skeletal man page that doesn't mention a gui. Similarly for "man NetworkManagerDispatcher". Those two, and nm-tool, are all I get out of "man -k NetworkManager". Is there anything more in the way of documentation I can look at? 

Should I be opening a bug report against networkmanager?

Thanks!


Rick
