There's no difference. > Also check whether you have ifplugd or netplug installed on your laptop > but not on the desktop. Neither has either installed. Looking at a 'gvimdiff' of the 2 extracts from 'syslog', I notice 3 differences : (1) when the connection is broken, the desktop machine receives an ALRM signal, which causes a process to exit (PID 997), whereas the netbook shows only "carrier lost, deleting route" ; (2) when the connection is restored, the netbook says "carrier acquired" & then there's a kernel msg re a NIC link, whereas the desktop is blank ; (3) the kernel msgs refer to different chips 'r8169' 'atl1c'. Does any of this ring a bell for anyone ? Thanks so far.
