Re: NM doesn't recognize my connection!

["Jeff Schallenberg" <schallenberg jeff gmail com>]

OK, I can edit the /etc/network/interfaces file.

It now contains only the lines:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

But this results in wlan0 and eth0 not being configured in Network Settings. So I can't connect to anything, either wired (eth0) or wireless (wlan0).

And the NM icon still proclaims (rightly) "No Network Connection" and displays the little red exclamation point.

(If I enable the interfaces in Network Settings, that creates new entries in the /etc/network/interfaces file for eth0 and wlan0).

Please help me get Network Manager working with my D-Link DWL-650+ and Ubuntu 6.06!

What version of this driver, where did you get it from, and does it
actually work with Wireless Extensions?  Is it the old acx driver or the
new softmac acx driver?  Is it from John Linville's wireless-2.6 git
tree?

Just to warn you that out-of-kernel drivers are usually dicey, and they
don't usually support Linux Wireless Extensions correctly.  But if the
device & driver work with wpa_supplicant, they should work with
NetworkManager.

But first, lets see the answer to Darren's question.
