From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20060126 Fedora/1.5-5 Firefox/1.5 Description of problem: The subject says it all: "Please contact the system administrator to resolve the following problem: SIOCGIFFLAGS error: No such device" when the applet is clicked (otherwise shows a stop sign..network disconnected). Started happening after I reinstalled the madwifi drivers on x86_64. I have 3 network cards - ath0, eth0, eth1. I have some sort of dummy/non-working configuration for ath0 at the moment, in case that's confusing it. Only eth0 should start on boot (#0 below). 00:0a.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation CK804 Ethernet Controller (rev a3) 05:07.0 Ethernet controller: Linksys NC100 Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet 10/100 (rev 11) 05:08.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc.

Run gnome-netstatus-applet Additional info:
If right-click on the applet and type in eth0 into the Name box, does the applet start working again?
Yes, the applet works again. I don't use wireless anymore, so I can't help with testing - if I switch to wireless now it just says that I'm disconnected (which is true).
