"New network interfaces have been detetcted"

Hi all.
New to Macs, so bare with me.
I've had my MPB a few days, and all good. My mobile broadband dongle works fine, but when I plug the dongle in, I get the following message.

As I said, it works fine, but the message is annoying - any idea if there's a likely easy fix?
Thanks,
Ed Ludlow

Hi There,
You will unfortunately receive that message if you plug the dongle in while OS X is already running. this is due to the fact that when the OS is started it does not see the network protocol and so when you plug the dongle in it just sees a new network connection. It's normal for OS X to do this.
Good Luck

  • UML290 & Mac: A new network interface has been detected

    I have a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard, and I just purchased a Pantech UML290 4G modem, live in an area with good 4G coverage, and I get a good 4G signal.  I am running VZAccess Manager version 7.2.5, and in general it connects to the 4G network fine and stays connected.  Every time I connect the modem to my laptop, Mac OS generates a "A new network interface has been detected" pop up with the option to Cancel or go to Network Preferences.  Canceling makes it go away.  
    I also see 4 devices under System Preferences > Network: 
    1. Verizon UM290 (which shows connected, not sure why it's missing the L in UML)
    2. Pantech UML290 USB Modem
    3. Pantech UML290 USB Serial
    4. Pantech UML290 USB CM
    Does anyone know how to get rid of the annoying message every time I connect the modem? Thanks.

    I have the same set up.  Get the same messages almost everytime I start up the UML290.  Not sure why I occasionally don't get it.  Many others on the forum have reported this as well.  For now, we live with it.

  • I keep getting a "new network interface has been detected. Hoping to stop getting this automatic message I configured it, or thought I did. I'm still getting the message. How do I stop it?

  • Thunderbolt to Firewire Adapter & New Network Interface Message

    I am using the new Thunderbolt to Firewire Adapter. Why is it that every time I use it, I get the following message:
    "A new network interface has been detected. The Thunderbolt FireWire Slot 2 network interface has not been set up. To set up this interface, use network preferences."
    All I want to do is mount external hard drives that don't have Thunderbolt ports to my iMac, via Thunderbolt because I am using the iMac's single Firewire port for something else. The drives do successfully mount, but why do I keep getting this message whenever I connect them again?

    I have no doubt what you say to do would get rid of the message for me. However, both myself and an Apple Store employee think it is odd that the message comes up in the first place. We're both curious about it, and he's going to look into it.
    We tested it on a computer at the store, and found that it happens on Lion too.

  • New network interfaces appear / networking fails

    Hi
    I have a strange behaviour of my ethernet networking interface. Every time I restart the mac the network connection is lost (I usally keep it in sleep and have no problems for days and weeks).
    As soon as I enter the network setup I get the message that a new network connection has been found, called "Ethernet (integrated) 1 (or 2, 7, 8 number increases)"
    If I look at my network configuration I see a long list of "Ethernet interface ((null))" and in beetween some "Ethernet (integrated) 1)" and the like
    It usally takes a couple of restarts of the network preferences and then the interface appears in the "network status" view and the mac connects to the router.
    I don't have any external networking cards and the like, just the ibook and a standard router. The router also connects to our mac mini without any problems I it ran for at least half a year with the ibook before this occured.
    I would be very thankfull for any help since this is very annoying.
    BTW I don't move the computer around and it is connected with a network cable.
    Cheers

    1st step, get Applejack...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    2nd step, trash, (or drag to the desktop), these files...
    /Users/nnnn/Library/Preferences/com.apple.internetconnect.plist
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.networkConfig.plist

  • Fixed "network settings have been changed" message but now can't network

    As per suggestions, I deleted the files suggested, the message disappeared, and I reentered my network settings. But, now I can't connect to my laptop from my desktop. I can connect from my laptop to the desktop just fine, but when I try and connect in finder (and I tried connecting through network and through going to the laptop's ip address), it just spins for a while and then stops. Any notions?
    The com.apple.nat.plist file didn't regenerate, but I put an old one in. Didn't seem to solve the problem.
    Thanks!

    Ok, now I've gone and put back the original files in the hd/library/preferences/systemconfiguration folder. I've got the annoying "your network settings have been changed" message in my network window, but I still can't network to my laptop.
    Help?
    FYI: The desktop is an old 2ghz x2 G5 running 10.4.11 and the laptop is a new MB unibody running 10.5.5

  • Problem with internet. When i open System preferences, Network, message drops down: 'your network settings have been changed by another application'. I click OK, but it drops a message again and again, preventing me to do anything about the setting.

    In the Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ folder delete the following:
    com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
    NetworkInterfaces.plist
    preferences.plist
    com.apple.nat.plist
    You will have to re-configure all your network settings since deleting.

  • Trashed plists to fix the problem 'Your network settings have been changed

    What is the easiest way to get back the plists that I trashed when following advice on how to fix :Your network settings have been changed.

    Drag them out of the trash and put them back to the place from which you dragged them to the trash. If you emptied the the trash they are basically gone (unless you want to go to the excessive step of file recovery with $100 software and a spare empty drive). By the way, they are automatically created again with default settings when you invoke features that need them so it's not like you have a hole in your computer file collection.
