Description Juergen Weigert 2008-02-25 23:00:00 UTC

In knetworkmanager I have selected 'wired network'.
The cable is connected and the network is fully functional.

From that situation, I unplug the cable and reconnect it to a different
physical network.

All the connections get frozen. I would have expected that networkmanager would detect the unplug event and reconfigure the wired network when reconnected.

a simple 'rcnetwork restart' cures this.

firefox has a workaround for that: file -> [ ] work offline.
but it falls back to offline on every restart. 
In konqueror I only find an icon that indicates offline mode, but nothing clickable, to override the false state.

What ethernet driver is that? If it doesn't support link detection, there's nothing NM can do. Can you please add the outputs of following commands here, with cable plugged and also with cable unplugged:

nm-tool
sudo /usr/sbin/ethtool eth0

(Replace eth0 with the correct interface name)

dmesg says this, and the output from the tools looks good.

e1000: eth0: e1000_watchdog_task: NIC Link is Down
e1000: eth0: e1000_watchdog_task: NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: RX/TX
e1000: eth0: e1000_watchdog_task: 10/100 speed: disabling TSO

Reconnecting to the same network works flawlessly.
Networkmanager changes appropriatly.
