Unfortunately, after the release of Jaunty, this is still an issue. Things get worse, as some applications (e.g. Firefox, Pidgin) obviously trust some hidden notification system on the unavailability of the network. I can bring up the network as described above and ping arbitrary hosts successfully, yet Pidgin refuses to connect anyways.
A workaround for the applications is to uninstall network-manager. This way I can at least bring up the network manually - after each reboot and after each sleep/wake cycle - and get it recognized by the apps. -- DHCP very slow and unreliable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311968 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to dhcp3 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
