I don't think they are related. The workaround suggested their doesn't work for me.
There are two entries in the 70-persistent-net.rules file: # PCI device 0x14e4:0x170c (b44) SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:15:c5:78:38:9d", ATTR{type}=="1", NAME="eth0" # PCI device 0x14e4:0x4311 (b43-pci-bridge) SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:19:7d:d9:70:67", ATTR{type}=="1", NAME="wlan0" Removing either of these two lines doesn't fix the problem. The lines are just regenerated (but NAME="eth1" instead of eth0, or wlan1 instead of wlan0), and the problem still persists. What's more, the wireless card still works, in that it detects available wireless networks. It just can't connect to them. This doesn't match the description of #204709. -- Hardy: latest version of hal, libhal1 and/or libhal-storage1 causing wireless to stop working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/205355 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
