OK, it appears that I am the one to dredge up unusual issues no one else has. Nobody knows a fix.
I know now that It happens every time I have numerous applications open and am switching to and fro between them. Somehow OO is deeply involved in it.
Anyway, since it does no harm and my network connection is not interrupted by the switch, I leave it the way it is.

I am using a Linksys wireless router to connect my desktop and my laptop to one DSL line. Works fine and reliably (with wicd, of course). Kernel updates do not affect the setup.
However, recently the wireless network has developed a mind of its own. Whenever my computer idles for any extended period of time while connected to wireless, it resets itself to the wired connection without actually losing the connection to the ISP. The network is still up and running -except now it is wired (on eth0).
There is no loss of connectivity or data.
Weird isn't it?
Has anyone had a similar experience?
PS: It happens only on the desktop (9.10). the laptop with 9.04 is not affected. It stays on wireless.
