eth0 (wired): Carrier Detect: yes

I plugged the cable out, this is the log. It also shows that carrier
detection works, doesn't it?

It looks like n-m sees that XXXXXX is WEP-protected and tries to find a
key. No wonder, it fails.


And the other way (from manually - via "connect to other ...." - set up
wifi network to wired one): I plug the cable in and this is in my log:

Mar 23 15:10:14 localhost kernel: [4311756.806000] tg3: eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex.
Mar 23 15:10:14 localhost kernel: [4311756.806000] tg3: eth0: Flow control is on for TX and on for RX.
Mar 23 15:10:14 localhost kernel: [4311756.818000] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready
Mar 23 15:10:25 localhost kernel: [4311767.648000] eth0: no IPv6 routers present


It looks like libnl doesn't know about this change.


Thanks for your effort!
