enter image description hereenter image description hereI used to be able to share my network connection by editing the Auto Eth0 to share with other computers in the Ipv4 section and now I upgraded my laptop to 11.10 .

Now are there no wired connections in the network manager. When I click my connections applet at the top of the tray it also says wired device not managed!

when I type ifconfig -a
