NetworkManager

Hello all,
I am experiencing problems with NetworkManager, allthough I have configured 2 Locations in it (Home and work) whenever I click on the Locations nothing happens.
I can connect to interfaces through the nm-applet but the Location configuration is not actually working in the NetworkManager.
My rc.conf:

INTERFACES=(lo !eth0 !eth1 !eth2)
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !network dhcdbd networkmanager netfs crond portmap fam hal gdm alsa stbd)

lo is not needed anymore in the INTERFACES array, and network should be started

But according to the wiki for Networkmanager network should be disabled...oh well I am going to give it a try right now

There is another good question here, are you running nm-applet as a non root-privileged user? if so, are you added in the "network" group so that you're user acctually is able to bring the interfaces up?

Yes I am running it as a simple user, I am in the network group. The problem is not related to that I believe since I can switch from network to network (wired - wireless) through the nm-applet But I am unable to make profiles of gnome network to work.
Maybe I am doing something wrong (I used to be an Ubuntu user, I had 2 different profiles available through gnome networking Home and work and I could switch among them by just selecting one of them).
I found my solution to netcfg2 (since I have 3 network interfaces on my laptop and I change them from work to home) which works like a wonder Thanks for trying to help though
