Debian GUI: network works but no managed information?
Posted: 21 Feb 2014, 22:33
After default Debian install, it could be (in my case) that network manager does not 'see' the eth0 card, although your network is working!

Found the solution: interface appears in /etc/network/interfaces. By default, NetworkManager does not manage interfaces that appear in /etc/network/interfaces.
You can change this behaviour. To do this - in a terminal:
change the line managed=false to managed=true
Save, stop and start network manager:
And in GUI you should see now:

Code: Select all
sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

sudo service network-manager restart
