ibeardslee | heh .. that seems to be a bit more than "practical electronics ability" | 02:59 |
snail | ibeardslee: true, but "practical electronics ability" is why i'm not applying ... | 03:13 |

olly | i 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 |
olly | has there been a change in the firmware blobs which get installed in the recent past? | 19:51 |
snail | ifdown --all | 19:51 |
snail | ifup --all | 19:51 |
snail | that's what i have to do sometimes | 19:52 |
olly | hmm, never had to do that before | 19:52 |
snail | it's a shotgun approach, but it works for me | 19:52 |
snail | and it's real simple and can't break anything else | 19:52 |
olly | well, except open network connections | 19:52 |
olly | ifconfig shows eth1 isn't configured, so I have my doubts, but I guess it's worth a try | 19:53 |
olly | doesn't help | 19:54 |
olly | didn't even take down eth0 for some reason, only loopback | 19:54 |

olly | well, I managed to prod it into existing with: sudo ifconfig eth2 up | 20:35 |
olly | network manager doesn't seem to know about it though | 20:35 |
olly | but I can do things like "sudo iwlist eth2 scan" and get plausible results | 20:36 |
G | you might need to restart network manager | 20:36 |
G | especially if the package update forced a module reload in a way NM wasn't expecting | 20:36 |
olly | yeah, that seems to have helped | 20:38 |
olly | though it seems to think i have "eth0" and "Ethernet" now | 20:38 |
