Here is my complete /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf :

[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile

[ifupdown]
managed=true

My eth0 is OK with guessnet, but, in Gnome, Network Manager says it's
not connected !!!
I have to click on the right connection (the one choosen by guessnet)
in order Network Manager is connected...

Isn't it possible to do this automatically ? Before opening my
Gnome session ?

Thank you.

David.
