Comment 4 for bug 160394

Ok, I ran some tests here, and here's what I've found. For some reason, the behavior isn't quite like it was before, maybe due to some upgrades I did this morning (around 12 hours ago). In any case, here's what I did (all on Nov 6)

20:41 (8:41pm)
laptop in wired connection - reboot - open Firefox (Wikipedia) to check, seems OK
turn on WiFi card (Fn+F2 key on keyboard), unplug Ethernet cable
icon in toolbar indicates connection, but Wikipedia doesn't respond
restart Firefox, Wikipedia now responds
turn off WiFi card, plug in Eth cable, click icon to change to wired connection - no response (time 20:50)
turn on WiFi card, unplug Eth cable, check Wikipedia, no response, reboot

20:52 rebooting with WiFi on and Eth disconnected
Wikipedia OK
turn off WiFi, plug in Eth cable
icon shows wired connection, Wikipedia doesn't respond at first, but then responds, loads pages, but doesn't load pics
restart Firefox, Wikipedia works fully

20:57 - unplug Eth, turn on WiFi card
icon shows wireless connection, Wikipedia doesn't respond at first, but then responds, loads pages, but doesn't load pics
restart Firefox, Wikipedia works fully (basically same scenario as above)

20:59 - turn off WiFi card, plug in Eth cable - Wikipedia doesn't respond, icon shows no connection (two screens with small red X)

21:01 - retry cable connection, icon still shows no connection, and doesn't respond to radio button (left click, select wired connection manually)

21:02 - reboot wired (WiFi card still off), and submit report, hopefully attachment makes it
