Hi,
My wireless works with the old GNOME network tools (if you're referring
to network-admin). I connect via the GUI and via running the ifup and
dhclient commands.
When I comment out eth1 from /etc/network/interfaces, NM still fails to
connect. It does however see my wireless network it just cannot
connect. NM works with my wired ethernet connection. Also
my /etc/network/interfaces currently only has those two lines shown on
the wiki that are acceptable (the auto and the dhcp lines) in it so it
should /etc/network/interfaces should be fine without the need to
comment out those lines anyways, right?

below is my /etc/network/interfaces

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp

Thanks!
Chris
