OK, I've been looking at this some more. Today when connecting I have noticed that if eth1 (the wireless card) is up then it inhibits routing through usb0. Taking eth1 down sorts it out. However eth1 comes back up automatically after a short period (a minute or so).
Here's an example from a terminal window. ja...@ace-garp:~$ ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:23:5a:65:66:31 UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:1 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) Interrupt:28 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:24:2b:e3:94:18 inet6 addr: fe80::224:2bff:fee3:9418/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:12 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:985 TX packets:4 errors:6 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:2604 (2.6 KB) TX bytes:1400 (1.4 KB) Interrupt:16 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:12 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:12 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:800 (800.0 B) TX bytes:800 (800.0 B) usb0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 4e:f0:87:ae:15:e8 inet addr:192.168.100.100 Bcast:192.168.100.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::4cf0:87ff:feae:15e8/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:20 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:270 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:2668 (2.6 KB) TX bytes:37779 (37.7 KB) ja...@ace-garp:~$ ping -c 4 192.168.100.254 PING 192.168.100.254 (192.168.100.254) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.100.254: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=2.65 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.100.254: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=2.18 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.100.254: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=2.35 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.100.254: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=2.58 ms --- 192.168.100.254 ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 3004ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 2.185/2.446/2.659/0.188 ms ja...@ace-garp:~$ ping -c 4 83.105.49.21 PING 83.105.49.21 (83.105.49.21) 56(84) bytes of data. --- 83.105.49.21 ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 3022ms ja...@ace-garp:~$ ping -c 4 www.google.co.uk ping: unknown host www.google.co.uk ja...@ace-garp:~$ sudo ifconfig eth0 down ja...@ace-garp:~$ sudo ifconfig eth1 down ja...@ace-garp:~$ ifconfig eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:24:2b:e3:94:18 inet6 addr: fe80::224:2bff:fee3:9418/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:12 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:985 TX packets:4 errors:6 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:2604 (2.6 KB) TX bytes:1400 (1.4 KB) Interrupt:16 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:12 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:12 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:800 (800.0 B) TX bytes:800 (800.0 B) usb0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 4e:f0:87:ae:15:e8 inet addr:192.168.100.100 Bcast:192.168.100.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::4cf0:87ff:feae:15e8/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:499 errors:1 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:1 TX packets:898 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:244309 (244.3 KB) TX bytes:175868 (175.8 KB) ja...@ace-garp:~$ sudo ifconfig eth1 down ja...@ace-garp:~$ ifconfig lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:12 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:12 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:800 (800.0 B) TX bytes:800 (800.0 B) usb0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 4e:f0:87:ae:15:e8 inet addr:192.168.100.100 Bcast:192.168.100.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::4cf0:87ff:feae:15e8/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:755 errors:2 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:2 TX packets:1189 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:408774 (408.7 KB) TX bytes:231912 (231.9 KB) ja...@ace-garp:~$ ping -c 4 www.google.co.uk PING www-tmmdi.l.google.com (66.102.9.106) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 66.102.9.106: icmp_seq=1 ttl=50 time=99.7 ms 64 bytes from 66.102.9.106: icmp_seq=2 ttl=50 time=96.7 ms 64 bytes from 66.102.9.106: icmp_seq=3 ttl=50 time=1565 ms 64 bytes from 66.102.9.106: icmp_seq=4 ttl=50 time=566 ms --- www-tmmdi.l.google.com ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 11393ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 96.733/582.276/1565.830/599.215 ms, pipe 2 -- connecting through mobile broadband https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/490943 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
