Bug Description
the update on gutsy (to 2.6.22-10) makes the wlan configuration to be lost each time.
it needs to be changed and then input again, to establish a working wlan connection (otherwise the connection is reported as existing, but no nameserver is present (in mozilla, no web page opens)
i had observed before that the web connection fails in this mode from time to time and can be fixed by cycling the wlan box, but this does not work for this bug - even a newly established connection does not allow web access.
hint for the GUI: do not only show if a wlan connection is established, but check and show that it is indeed a connection to the internet.

Hi, I've been struggling with this issue until I found out in another post that Linux had been complaining about IRQ port clash. So, I remembered that in old pc's with Windows, if you set IRQ of the modem to the same value as the mouse, both modem and mouse would be fighting to get cpu's attention and that's why I think it's happening here.
I removed my mouse from PS2 port and it has been plugged in a USB port and Internet don't woes since then. So, probably the problem here is with how Ubuntu is setting PS-2 irq's and Network hardwares.
