Ok, finally I have managed to find an obscure workaround to this frustrating bug. Please note, this is not a fix, and it requires manual commandline intervention which is not supportive of the "it just works" Ubuntu ideal. There is a root cause problem here that needs code level fixing. Ubuntu urgently needs to fix this sort of stuff because plainly, it doesnt "just work" and there is countless people on the Ubuntu forums actually begging for someone to help them, and having to go through obscure things to work around the problems.
Root cause problem: eth0 is loosing the gateway after a period of time in the routing table Workaround: manually add the gateway address each time it is lost in the command line Example: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo ifconfig eth0 down [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.10.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1a:92:3f:45:48 inet addr:192.168.10.2 Bcast:192.168.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::21a:92ff:fe3f:4548/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:8298 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:6985 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:9124303 (8.7 MB) TX bytes:882153 (861.4 KB) Interrupt:23 Base address:0xe800 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.10.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo route add default gw 192.168.10.1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.10.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 default www.routerlogin 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 -- wired ethernet not available on resume from sleep https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/111282 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
