In factory, network manager no longer seems to work. I can get an address with DHCP but there are no entries in resolv.conf and there is no default route entry in the routing table. When I trigger dhclient manually from the command line I get an error in the /etc/dhclient.conf file (see blow). SOLUTION: I edited /etc/dhclient.conf and removed "network-number" from the options, then retried clicking on network manager and things are now fine. I also deleted resolv.conf and rebooted and again networking worked this time. Here is the command line result of dhclient before editing dhclient.conf: ----- # dhclient eth0 Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.1.1 Copyright 2004-2008 Internet Systems Consortium.
