I can't do it for a while, I discovered the bug after rebuilding my main work machine with a new mainboard, CPU and RAM. Now it's running the 32bit version of Kubuntu happily, and I'm using it. (I'm a freelance tech writer/journalist).
I do have a second machine that I keep as a spare, once I'm sure this one is OK and I'm certain I've copied back all the files on that I created while this one was in pieces then I might experiment with it. That said I've only ever once replaced a kernel, many years ago when I was playing with Linux rather than relying on it for everyday use, so it might be a while before I figure out what I'm doing. -- Phil Thane www.pthane.co.uk Tel: 01978 861677 Mob: 07582 750607 On Wednesday 04 Feb 2015 18:27:19 you wrote: > Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel?

Using the 64bit versions networking is not available. Using the 32 bit versions it 'just works'. Also tested live DVD version of KaOS (64bit). That doesn't work either, so I suspect KDE issue? Reported to KDE, but they responded hardware driver issues should go to distro...
