After some research I started messing with NetworkManager and dbus. It appears that one or both was semi-locked up or it's configuration screwed up. Killing NetworkManager and restarting debus made my ethernet interface selectable for about a minute. After that it was grayed out and no longer selectable. Plugging and unplugging the network cable several times would "wake up" network manager for another minute or so and selecting the ethernet interface during this time seems to have cleared up the problem. After a reboot and selecting several times between ethernet and wireless interfaces the ethernet interface remains usable. Before someone makes the comment, yes, my ethernet cable and link were good and tested before this bug was opened.
I have no idea what the issue is/was here. Maybe someone can shed some light on this for me. Over the next couple days I'll see if anything similar happens again. -- Gutsy Beta: Ethernet interface (Intel PRO/1000) present but unusable after update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/148232 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
