Public bug reported:

Affects: gnome-netstatus gnome-netstatus-applet (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
Currently, the Network Monitor is reporting "SIOCGIFFLAGS error: No such
device", while the wired network interface is active and the wireless
network interface is disabled. The wired network interface is eth0 and
wireless is eth1. I can't, at the moment, find out what interface it is
attempting to use, nor can I find a way to specify an interface.
