This issue affects me as well. I am not sure how the information I have could change the priority, or even if the two are related, though I suspect.
I configured my guest XP on virtualbox to share the internet connection it has with a wnda3100 v2 usb adapter. Since no 64 bit drivers were written, ndiswrapper does not help to connect straight to 10.10 I was able to then ping outside hosts from my ubuntu client. However I was not able to get firefox to recognize any external addresses. (ping virtual default gateway, physical default gateway and google) I ma using 64 bit 10.10, and sharing the USB connection is the closest I have gotten to having my wireless sub supplying a connection to my meerkat host. OSI would say layer three of four? Seems that fixing this bug might allow for a large portion of wireless connection devices to be ubuntuble. Definitely interested in any progress and information regarding the issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-nettool in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/663014 Title: No result for ping in Gnome-Nettool -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
