Hi, I have the same problem. In particular, this is what I've seen. If I turn on my wireless router and then boot my PC, all is fine: my wireless card (USB ACER with zd1211 chipset) get the signal, the NM applet shows a nice green bar and I can surf the Internet.
The problem occurs if, for example, I take out the USB wireless card and then I plug it in again. In this case, the wireless network doesn't get configured correctly. The interesting thing is that the fix to the problem is really easy! I have to do a simple: $ sudo ifdown eth1 $ sudo ifup eth1 and the net is back again. I'm using Hardy with latest updates, but I have had the same problem with Gutsy. It is a quite annoying bug. If I can help to diagnose the problem and make Ubuntu better, I'm willing to help! Let me know if you have any idea. -- Unable to connect to Internet - "link is not ready" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/63664 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
