Well quite a surprise for me today. I got so fed up with it all, I decided to dump network manager and go back to the 'old way' by just hacking the configs. (since the files were already in /etc/networks) i did not touch them.
I uninstalled network-manager and network-manager-gnome and rebooted. After a reboot, I noticed that the wireless driver had started to work again. The first time since the issue a few weeks ago. Out of curiousity, I checked out System -> Administration -> Network and lo and behold, the network icon was back to wireless and activated. (no idea why network manager is still here..) I had an issue with the hard wired link (eth0) though. This is back to the main issue I had when I first got the machine. I reinstalled network-manager and network-manager-gnome and everything works for me now. Even eth0 and wlan. Glad (for me at least) that my problem is resolved. Now to see whether the machine locks up after a while. -- Ralink Wireless legacy drivers (rt2500 rt61 rt73 rt2570) USB/PCMCIA/PCI hangs PC https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/34902 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
