Hello,

I safe-upgraded yesterday (22.03.2008) an have exactly the same problem:
Neither eth0 nor wlan0 are working anymore. Unfortunately, I have no
idea why.

Are you running stable or testing/unstable?

The statement: "Unfortunately, I have no idea why." indicates you should
not be running testing.


I'm running unstable, and most things I have a pretty good of how the system
works, but the inner workings of hightech rarely working things like network
manager I know little about. AFAIK it gets it's notification through dbus and I
guess that the problem is in there somewhere.

I can setup the network manually quite nicely with iwconfig, iwlist,
wpa_supplicant and dhclient so the bookends are working ok. dmesg shows eth0
connection messages, so that is working fine also. I wanted to know that it's
not the kernel and Markus verified that. That leaves network-manager to blame
and I don't know that part very well. I did write variations to most of the
rest myself for embedded systems so saying that I don't know enough to run
testing is a bit extreme and very condescending, and by that line, since you
can't give any pointers yourself I am guessing that you are running stable
since you shouldn't be running testing unstable either ...
