Whoops! Suddenly, the wired network seems to be connecting, though nothing, as nearly as I can tell, has changed. Earlier, I had tried to connect several times from the live CD, then I put system onto a USB stick, so I could boot from that, again confirmed that the network still remained disconnected when 10.10 was booted from the USB stick. Between these attempts, I had made successful connections using 10.10 i386, 10.04 AMD64, and XP, confirming that the problem was unique to 10.10 AMD64
However, just now, I plugged in the USB memory stick, booted from it and, to my surprise, discovered that a connection was successfully made. I tried it a second time, and again it connected with the router on boot. I have the impression, but I haven't yet tested this - that I have to let Maverick make the connection first, before I click the "Try Ubuntu" button on the initial splash screen. By the way, when I created the above apport file, I didn't even check to see it the network manager had made a connection, because I was convinced at that time that it was incapable of connecting. It's quite possible that the network was actually connected at the time I created that file! At any rate, the problem seems to have disappeared spontaneously, or at any rate is only an intermittent problem, having to do with timing or with the state of the network. I hope I didn't waste anybody's time but my own, in thinking that this was a serious, driver- related issue. -- Possible issue with 64-bit 10.10 network drivers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/662306 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
