I was suffering this behavior patiently and for very long hoping that somebody at finally does something with it. Nobody ever did. I recall that after I voiced my complaints when this behavior began to occur, somebody (wolfden?) advised to uninstall wicd. I finally did. Now, I have no network whatsoever.
This happened, by the way, more than a month ago, a day or two after installing that troublesome kernel .33 that is unbootable on my laptop (powering it off at some 80% of boot sequence left my machine in nearly unusable state when I tried next to boot kernel .31).
Back to my problem. Here are the outputs of lspci, lsmod, rc-update, and ifconfig. I would be grateful for instructions how to fix my problem. To me the problem looks as if some kernel modules are not loaded (let me mention here that all network connection modes [ethernet, wireless] are greyed out in the network-admin window). The question then would be: exactly which? And what would be the proper way to correct this?
