Public bug reported:

Installed Hardy Heron Beta on a Fujitsu Siemens E Series Lifebook with
on-board ethernet and PCMCIA WiFi (so the networking devices are eth0,
ath0 and wifi0, though the WiFi is disabled). Everything seemed to work
OK. Every day there was a bunch of updated packages. I have been
installing them regularly. The only thing I installed manually (i.e.
apart from the automatic system updates of stock Hardy Heron) was aranym
- "aptitude install aranym".

I haven't configured anything anywhere.

Sometime later the networking suddenly stopped working. One day
(08/04/10) I simply booted up the notebook and eventhough it got the IP
address/route/DNS etc. via DHCP correctly nothing else worked. Even ping
to my gateway reported a permission problem! Much later and with fairly
less hair left I found out that "sudo ufw disable" fixes the problem -
but only until next reboot. Then the networking is blocked again.

The iptables -L after reboot is as follows:

========================================
Chain INPUT (policy DROP)
target     prot opt source               destination         
ACCEPT     all  --  anywhere             anywhere            
LOG        all  --  127.0.0.0/8          anywhere            LOG level warning 
DROP       all  --  127.0.0.0/8          anywhere            
DROP       all  --  anywhere             224.0.0.1           
LOG        all  --  anywhere             anywhere            LOG level warning 
DROP       all  --  anywhere             anywhere            

Chain FORWARD (policy DROP)
target     prot opt source               destination         
DROP       all  --  anywhere             224.0.0.1           
LOG        all  --  anywhere             anywhere            LOG level warning 
DROP       all  --  anywhere             anywhere            

Chain OUTPUT (policy DROP)
target     prot opt source               destination         
ACCEPT     all  --  anywhere             anywhere            
DROP       all  --  anywhere             224.0.0.1           
LOG        all  --  anywhere             anywhere            LOG level warning 
DROP       all  --  anywhere             anywhere            
========================================

Please note that plain "iptables -F" does not fix the networking
problem. Only the "ufw disable" does fix it. I have no idea where this
problem originates. Is there something I could try to find the root
cause?

Thanks
