    Networking Screwed (Solved)

    I finally succumbed and installed Alpha 5, fixed the plasma and display problems but I am stuck as to why the networking is screwed. I cannot get either ethernet or wireless to work, this is amazing really that after all the previous releases something as basic as that is not working. Any ideas?

    I might add that Gnome is the same but then they both use network manager, I think. I am having to compose this post with XP, oh the shame of it all!!

      Shame on you! What, no Live CD?

      Well, I haven't worked up the nerve (or time) to fool with 9.04 yet -- I'm holding off for the Beta release later this month. But, did you try the normal network diagnostic stuff?

      Code:
      sudo ifconfig
      Code:
      sudo iwconfig
      Network mangler is famous for causing more problems than it solves ...

        I used update-manager -d from Konsole, it was amazing how long it took. I will try those commands and report back

            Hmmm. And this same machine connects OK with Windows?

            Comparing your output to what I get on my Intrepid box, your number of Tx and Rx packets is incredibly small -- mine are 2,000 plus. But, there aren't errors.

            Can you ping anything? In the console, try (as a user)
            Code:
            ping [url]www.google.com[/url]

              I can't even connect to the wireless router using 192.168.2.1 in Firefox. This all works perfectly with 8.10 and XP.

                When I try to ping the router I just get Network Unreachable

                  Well, congratulations -- I think you just found a 9.04 bug!

                    I think so too, the trouble is how do I get updates to fix it?

                      Re: Networking Screwed

                      Well, if I were you and interested in seeing it fixed, I would first search Launchpad to see if this bug has already been filed, and if not, then I would file it there.

                      As far as getting a fix for it, I think you have little choice but to await the updates and hope one of them has the corrected code in it.

                      Also, since it could be specific to your hardware (your ethernet chip), you might want to search around for reports of driver issues under the 2.6.28 kernel, for that chip. 8.10 runs the 2.6.27 kernel, so a faulty kernel module in 9.04 could be the problem.

                        I manually edited /etc/network/interfaces and added eth0, it now works. I am now downloading 200 odd meg of updates so hopefully this will fix knetworkmanager.

                          I think the problem is due to not having kernel 2.6.28 but 2.6.27
