Public bug reported: When I installed Ubuntu 13.04, my network froze after a few minutes. Please refer - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1176370. This bug was handled upstream (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54021). I read somewhere that the bug was fixed in the latest kernel. So, I downloaded and installed the latest kernal.
Now I can browse without any problem, but when I try to switch on hotspot, the network freezes (same old problem returns!). I wanted wifi for my android phone, and so I followed the this guide (http://www.webupd8.org/2013/06/how-to-set-up-wireless-hotspot- access.html). Mobile gets connected to the computer without any trouble, but network doesnot work. When running $ ifconfig etho I get eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:26:6c:d3:00:c1 inet addr:192.168.1.2 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:267212 errors:0 dropped:274 overruns:274 frame:274 TX packets:264554 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:3 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:302100605 (302.1 MB) TX bytes:32422644 (32.4 MB) And the network in computer as well as mobile freezes. After that to make the eth0 work, I have to stop hotspot and disable wifi. And reconnect LAN cable manually, or do $ sudo ifconfig eth0 down $ sudo ifconfig eth0 up ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: compat-wireless kernel-bug ubuntu -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1213398 Title: Internet connection lost on activating hotspot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1213398/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
