Hi

I'm running Etch and whenever I login to GNOME I have to use the
NetworkManager applet to connect to my wired network, how can I
configure NetworkManager to automatically connect to my wired network
on boot? I've tried looking at the NetworkManager man pages but they
are next to useless.

Cheers

Adam

If you always want to use eth0, I'd drop NetworkManager altogether and
just set things up in /etc/network/interfaces so that eth0 is
auto-started. If you need to do something more automagical, I've found
that ifplugd works pretty well, too.

Thanks, I've removed NetworkManager and edited /etc/network/interfaces
appropriately and everything is great now!

That's why it's called NetworkMangler.
