When I boot Ubuntu 12.10, it says that the wired connection is being used, but it says the network is disconnected. When I disable Network Connections and then re-enable them, the wired connection works. How do I fix this?

From ifconfig:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:15:f2:d5:97:f9  
          inet addr:10.0.0.28  Bcast:10.0.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::215:f2ff:fed5:97f9/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

          TX packets:843 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

          RX bytes:96089 (96.0 KB)  TX bytes:69805 (69.8 KB)

cat /etc/network/interfaces:

# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)

iface lo inet loopback

cat /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf:

[main]

How do you "disable Network Connections"? – jdthood Jan 29 at 14:40
Please append the output of lspci -v — the stanza describing the "Network controller" or similar. – jdthood Jan 29 at 14:42
