My personal taste-driven oppinion : get rid of NM, connect to Ethernet the old-fashioned way and use wicd for WLAN. :)I tried that: Went to 'Wired' -> Add 'Wired Connection', ticked both 'Connect automatically' and 'Available to all users', asked me for my root password, clicked 'Apply'. But nothing, even my new entry has disappeared when I open it up again. 2010/1/14 Aioanei Rares<debian.dev.list@gmail.com>:On 01/14/2010 07:31 PM, Harvey Kelly wrote:Yes, sorry should've said that.

Everything works great, except I'm connected via wireless, not the ethernet. I've only just noticed this(!) when I accidentally clicked on the icon in the system tray (I'm using Gnome), where I was informed that 'Wired Network' is 'device not managed'. Unplugged my ethernet cable, and yup, sure enough, I'm still connected to the net. What puzzles me is that at no time was I quizzed for the modem's password... Anyway, this is the first laptop I've ever owned (Compaq Presario CQ70), so have no idea how to get it stop connecting via wireless and to eth0 - I've had a quick dig around to see if I could see anything, but to no avail. Thanks. HarveyYou're using Gnome with Network-Manager, right?If you right-click on NM's icon, you will see the option 'Edit Connections'. Use it to tell NM to manage your Ethernet as well.
