Finally I got a cabled internet connection to complete a full upgrade of my system. After that, the wireless connection would not work yet though. I could get a DHCP address from my router by editing my "interfaces" configuration file in nano from terminal, and then with ifdown <interface>, ifup <interface> and asking for an IP with dh- something <interface>. However this would work with the cabled Ethernet interface (eth0), it would not on the wi-fi interface (wlan0).
The previous DUP! packages seem to come from an scenario when I hade two woreless ethernet devices both plugged-in to the same machine. I did did in order to discard the hypothesis of a hardware malfunction or driver/firmware issue. I can not remember if I had both cards plugged-in at the time I received those DUPlicate packages but I am pretty sure it was like that. My Wi-Fi is still kaput. It will show a zero coverage indicator even when from then same machine in Windows it shows an almost full coverage bar. And I can not get a DHCP IP either. -- Kubuntu 6.06 final: cannot retrieve an ip via dhcp from my router https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/48241 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
