Hi, Steven! No, I couldn't solve this problem. Every time I need LAN I have to reboot my netbook. Also, I discovered, that if I suspend the operating system (by closing the netbook), unplug cable and resume, the system is not crashed: it crashes only if I hot-unplug the cable.
It is definitely a bug and should be fixed... Please provide information about your hardware - maybe it helps developers to fix the bug. Run: lspci | grep -i net In my case it returns: 01:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01) 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8040 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller (rev ff) Also, determine BIOS version by running: sudo dmidecode First lines of the output, in my case, are: SMBIOS 2.4 present. 17 structures occupying 818 bytes.
