As for configured that way, I recognize the IP as one I was using a year or so ago so it is probably a legacy of then.
this current system is an upgrade of a jaunty install, itself an upgrade of an intrepid install iirc. The system was working fine with whatever settings there are / were for the past months, pre Karmic Alpha 3 iirc; so any manual configuration of such settings would have been long enough ago for me to not remember. (certainly as I haven't been in that IP range since May)
yes on initial boot, Network manager (via icon) is showing an Ethernet connection when there is no cable present.
Fixed by suspend-resume or plugging and removing a cable. Then normal behavior
Yes that is the file
