Bug Description

Fresh installation on a dell inspiron 1520

No problem with wired network.
No problem to connect to wifi.
But after a few minutes, the network died :
* can’t go back to wired
* can’t use « network » from System > Administration to connect
* /etc/init.d/network start gave me nothing
* « network-manager » in a console give me an : can’t find /usr/bin/esd

So, I install esound ! « esound-common » was installed but not « esound »

It seem’s to work…

Hope it can help.

Here is the syslog.

Today the wifi run well (I don’t use it much).
But when I plugged back the cable it failed to found it.
I had to « forced » it in network-manager applet.
When I unplugged it, it can’t log to the wifi again.

that syslog doesn't contain a connection attempt to your wifi network. Please do that, wait till it dies and then attach your syslog again.

Maybe this one is better.
It was on sunday (the 30th), around 17:00 / 18:00 I think.
My wireless is eth1 and my local network : uranie (WPA key)
Now everything seems to work well (but I don’t use this computer a lot : it’s my girlfriend one).
Since I install « esound »
Do you want me to remove this package for test ?

Sorry If this information are not very usefull…

Olivier.
