I still see the same problem : no tray icon - I can actually right click on the gap in the tray and if I do I get
a context menu.

If I look at the wired tab I get

ifupdown (eth1) never

My connection works perfect I just don't have tray icon.

here is my interfaces file

>more /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
