    You are using network then. Have you looked at the regular GUI 
network system? Often it will give you a hint about what is wrong. Go to 
System Administration Networks and see what it shows for your system.

    Also it is the opinion of some that Network Manager adds more 
confusion to the issue. My experience is that it works fine and is an 
asset on my laptop.
