Install Network Manager

[spandey]

Hi,
I am newbie to Linux. Network Manager was giving me real pain after recent update. It was not connecting to Lan. So I tought I will uninstall it and reinstall.
I went to synaptic and uninstalled. But unable to install now.

How can I install Network Manager now?

Why can't you install it?

If you don't have a network connection (or Ubuntu CD), you're not going to be able to download NetworkManager. In this case, it's probably easiest to use another computer to download the files and copy them to your computer with a flash drive. From there, you should be able to double-click on the packages to install them, or use

sudo dpkg -i nameOfTheFile.deb

http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/network-manager
http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/network-manager-gnome

You always can to connect manually.
Try with:

$ sudo dhcpcd eth0
or

$ sudo dhclient eth0
and then
ping to google.com
