I installed cnetwork manager and I can't get a wifi connection for some
reason.  I invoke cnetworkmanager -C <myISSD> options and hangs.

So I got out a network cable and plugged into my router.   I can ping the
router the router just fine (192.168.0.1) but as soon as I try to reach
anything beyond that (ping www.google.com) I get an unknown host error.
Why and how do I fix that ?  cnetworkmanager shows eth0 to up activated.

Thanks
