I see the following in the log files: > FWIW I experience the same bug. I have my ethernet nic on eth0 (8139cp) and the wireless nic on wlan0 (ipw2100). On startup NM always tries to establish a connection via eth0 although no cable is plugged in (and it receives a LL IP address via avahi-autoipd, so the actual connection via wlan0 is not established because NM thinks it has a connection). The problem seems to be, that NM does not correctly init the eth0 device and so mistakenly thinks it has a link. cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:02:01.0/net/eth0/carrier yields: Invalid argument directly after loading the module. If I run "ip link set eth0 up" the above correctly returns 0 for carrier.
