I checked out NetworkManager from svn, to see if I could figure out why
it didn't recognize that this network card supports carrier detection.

But building NetworkManager on this Ubuntu 7.10 box fails, because it
can't find glib-gettext >= 2.2.0, and I haven't been able to find a .deb
package that matches this.

Any workarounds possible?
