NetworkManager not detecting my interfaces anymore

Flipperrr

Since yesterday (after world update) NetworkManager is nog detecting my interfaces anymore (wired or wireless). I suspected that udev-127 was to blame, but downgrading to udev-126 didn't have any affect. Bringing the interface up by hand (either gentoo init scripts, or just ifconfig) works fine though.

nm-applet says: "No network devices have been found"

/var/log/messages (now):

I have the same problem. I can not connect Internet on Gentoo. But I can not use my keyboard as well. I controled /etc/hal/policy/10-x11-input.fdi, it is healty. I re-emerged hal and networkmanager but can't fix it. I think, this issue is associated with hal. :evil:

PS: Hard disk partitions were not mounted automaticly

I have the same problem since a world update this morning. I didn't try a wired connector though, I just
switched over to SUSE which happens to be on the same machine.

I'm reverting back to udev-125-r2 right now, let you guys know if it works.

Yep, downgrading to udev-125-r2 works. Still not clear to me why downgrading to udev-126 didn't work...

udev-125-r2 also solved my problem.

My system never had udev-126 on it, it went from
125-r2 to 127

Exactly the same here:

- udev-125-r2: worked
- updated to udev-127: didn't work
- rebuilt /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules: didn't work
- back to udev-125-r2: works again

Had the same problem, but couldn't find this thread. I hope mine wasn't a duplicate! (https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-5202535.html#5202535)

Downgrading to udev-125-r2 solved it for me.

Wondered why everything broke :S

evdev as an input device failed in X, as did the mouse (touchpad)

Commenting out the inputdevices from xorg.conf resolved that one, but NM was still down.

Downgraded udev to 125-r2, problem solved!

Simple reasons:

There was a missing symlink HAL was using for querying devices. Linking /sbin/udevadm to /usr/bin/udevinfo did the trick:

This was fixed with hal-0.5.11-r2:

Did "emerge --sync" followed by "emerge -auD world" this
morning. Problem resolved, apparently as Schwinni said
hal-0.5.11-r2 fixed it.
EXCEPT now Hard disk partitions are not auto-mounted.
going back to udev-125-r2 to see what happens.
EDIT: still doesn't auto-mount with 125-r2

going back to udev-125-r2 and hal-0.5.11-r1 everything
works as it should.
