Comment 67 for bug 45696

Thanks to everyone for all the info. I'm a bit confused about this issue being marked "Fix Released" though. Alexander Sack wrote (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/45696/comments/65) about seeing some improvements. I'm not clear what these improvements were. Reading the other comments above, it sounds like people keep having to use workarounds, e.g. disabling and re-enabling networking manually. Some people were even having this issue in Gutsy. That doesn't sound like the issue is really "fixed" IMHO.

I still have this problem, too, occasionally, with the same chipset, WIRED Ethernet card: Intel Corporation, Device: 82562ET/EZ/GT/GZ - PRO/100 VE (LOM). Network device: eth0, Hardware address: 00:13:20:0e:ce:fb. I use DHCP networking via my wired router. I still have the same version of Ubuntu (Feisty) as before. Update Manager has so far failed in to upgrade to Gutsy, but that's -- hopefully -- a different issue.

Getting back to network manager, should I open a new bug for the same problem? --Or is Feisty not supported anymore at all now that Gutsy is out, regardless of people who have not been able to upgrade? Thanks in advance for clarifying the process.
