I have tried that to no avail. There are two possibilities:

(1) I don't remember exactly what was there before
(2) One of the two network management programs that are
running changed something that I don't know about.

In my Notification Area there are two programs that seem to
be controlling the interfaces, and perhaps causing my
problems. They are Network Manager Applet and WICD Network
Manager.

Network Manager and wicd have been known to fight with each other. 

Good luck!
