I'm guessing that you may have meant that network interfaces showed up in ifconfig but not network manager? AFAIK network-manager is a front end for ifconfig, so if there are no interfaces in ifconfig, there should be none in gnome-network-manager. I don't have an Ubuntu box or VM at the moment so I cant explain or test anything on my end. >but they > do show up in network manager.
