>Description:
	
Since the upgrade to Gnome 2.20, netseed applet sees all interfaces as down.
The tool gets this information from applet->devinfo.running. I suspect that
this is supplied by HAL, but today's HAL upgrade made no difference. "Device
Details" shows all correct data, so it appears specific to devinfo.running
which leads me to suspect a HAL problem, although I have no real knowledge of
HAL interaction with applets.
>How-To-Repeat:
	
Start the netspeed applet
>Fix:
Unknown
