“No Network Connection” in network manager gnome

Network Manager Gnome is some sort of applet in the notification area that helps you to choose the wireless network you want to use. However, after installed this applet with:

sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome

It showed “No Network Connection” (Sorry I forget to capture that dialog :) )

Now you need to:

sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
And find those code:

iface eth1 inet dhcp

wireless-essid YOUR AP

wireless-key s:PASSWORD

Comment them!!

#iface eth1 inet dhcp

#wireless-essid YOUR AP

#wireless-key s:PASSWORD

Restart the computer (I hate to do this, there should be a better way~) then left-click on the new icon :D There you go…

    But where is your email address?
    I believe you can find same gadget in the latest version of Fedora as well. As for myself, I don’t need to do that anymore in 8.04.
