Description Casual J. Programmer 2007-11-20 17:42:48 UTC 
In openSuSE 10.3.1 using ifup rather than network manager, the gnome-main-menu ( Computer/Status/Network shows none, although connected to a wireless LAN.

The Network Monitor applet shows the connection correctly.

I don't think gnome-main-menu has any good way of getting information on the state of traditional (ifup/ifdown) networking, though perhaps it could figure out that NM isn't being used and just say "Network: Traditional" or some such.
