I believe NetworkManager is not starting at boot for you as I can reproduce the problem you are having to a T. If if disable it, or stop it, ifconfig only reports the loopback device, yet in gnome-nettool I am able to see all interfaces. If you run: sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager start do all network interfaces return via ifconfig? Mine does. If this works make sure you enable it to start at boot: sudo update-rc.d NetworkManager defaults Any luck? -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments
