Re: network-manager not connecting automatically anymore

I've made some progress: After I commented the following two lines
mentioning eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces, network-manager works just
as expected!

allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

What should /etc/network/interfaces contain about eth0 if I'm using
network-manager? Anything at all?

Aside from these lines, there are only the following two concerning the
loopback interface, are these needed?

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

Hm, doesn't look like the same thing to me: I am able to connect to the
network, it's just not happening automatically. Does your
/etc/network/interfaces mention the network devices in question?
