if the network is configured by some other method, say /etc/network/interfaces, then network-manager-gnome will not manage it and it will show odd messages.

FYI: mx "test" repo is not the same thing as debian testing repo.

looking at your other threads, I'm suspecting a policykit issue here as well, as network-manager-gnome utilizes the policykit system for permissions. It probably can't figure out what is going on, even if network-manager (the daemon) has already made your connection.

From one of his threads about an Options Manager (not sure what that is), he mentioned MATE.

Might want to check how and from where he installed his MATE DE.
