Comment 69 for bug 212497

Apparently it is just like you say, Kevin: it works on some computers but not on others.

I can say me and Patrick Schueller have the exact same problem: ok on Hardy (live, fresh install, up-to-date, just ok all the way) and never working on Intrepid, not after a fresh installation, neither after the updates (last done this morning).
I'll try to run an Intrepid live cd just to see if I get the same problem.

I'm just wondering if the kernel-modules updates also update the drivers or not, since I'm a real newbie about this software level.

The real weird thing is that clicking on the info on network-manager shows that everything gets assigned: IP, submask, gateway, DNSs, everything...
