Just noticed something strange - when network-manager has already connected to a wireless network then unplugging and replugging the network cable works correctly. Steps:
1. Start machine with wireless networks in range (already configured in network-manager) and network cable unplugged. 2. Log in and plug network cable in. network-manager notices this and brings up the wired connection. 3. Unplug the network cable. Machine keeps running and network-manager falls back to the wireless connection. To cause the crash: 1. Start machine with cable plugged in but out of range of any configured wireless networks. 2. Log in and unplug the network cable. Machine hangs and must be powered down to restart. To see network-manager not pick up the wired connection: 1. Start machine with cable unplugged and out of range of any configured wireless networks. 2. Log in and plug cable in. network-manager does not notice this and the wired network remains down. -- System crashes if cable hot unplugged; No interface but "lo" listed by ifconfig if cable isn't plugged when booting; wireless doesn't work at all. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/466325 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
