The same thing happened to me yesterday with my Kubuntu Breezy install; I finally found that when both my wireless card and my Ethernet card were enabled at the same time, I could not get out past my router. When I disabled my ethernet card from Network Manager, then everything worked fine. Strangely, my ethernet card was still being enabled at startup, even though I had configured it in Network Manager to not do so. I finally just edited /etc/networking/interfaces and commented out the eth0 section entirely, figuring that since I rarely use the ethernet card, this wouldn't be an issue; and if I did, I could always reenable it by hand in this file. Oh, I also ended up having to put the WEP key in /etc/networking/interfaces in plaintext in order to get wireless working. Hope that helps. -- Richard S.
