ollyi did a package upgrade on my 10.04 machine, and now the wifi doesn't work - in network manager it says "device not ready"19:51
ollyhas there been a change in the firmware blobs which get installed in the recent past?19:51
snailifdown --all19:51
snailifup --all19:51
snailthat's what i have to do sometimes19:52
ollyhmm, never had to do that before19:52
snailit's a shotgun approach, but it works for me19:52
snailand it's real simple and can't break anything else19:52
ollywell, except open network connections19:52
ollyifconfig shows eth1 isn't configured, so I have my doubts, but I guess it's worth a try19:53
ollydoesn't help19:54
ollydidn't even take down eth0 for some reason, only loopback19:54

ollywell, I managed to prod it into existing with: sudo ifconfig eth2 up20:35
ollynetwork manager doesn't seem to know about it though20:35
ollybut I can do things like "sudo iwlist eth2 scan" and get plausible results20:36
Gyou might need to restart network manager20:36
Gespecially if the package update forced a module reload in a way NM wasn't expecting20:36
ollyyeah, that seems to have helped20:38
ollythough it seems to think i have "eth0" and "Ethernet" now20:38
