networkmanager

My system is Ubuntu 9.04.

There is NetworkManager applet, but it looks like there are no networks. When I click it, there is disabled menu "Wired Network/device not managed". I have working eth0 interface, internet is working fine and I can see eth0 in ifconfig

When I right-click and choose "Edit connections", there is only "Auto vboxnet0" under "Wired" tab. No "eth0".

It shouldn't be a problem, but I cannot connect to VPN because of this :(
