Description of problem: I can unplug the ethernet cable on my laptop, and then wait a second, networkmanager realises and the icon changes to disconnected. After a while, networkmanager starts looking for connections, presumably checking the wired and wireless options, for some reason it decides the wired option is available and the icon changes again. Naturally, I can't connect to any servers since the cable is removed, and worse still, if I plug the cable back in, networkmanager doesn't seem to do anything about it and the network doesn't come back up. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): NetworkManager-0.6.2-2.fc5 How reproducible: Very Steps to Reproduce: 1. see above 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: AlienWare Laptop, all update RPMs applied.
Do you know what network controller your laptop has? Can you put the output of 'lsmod' and 'lspci' (executed from a terminal) into this bug report? Also, can you attach the output of 'lshal' from a terminal both when the cable is plugged in, and when it is not plugged in? (please attach as text files, not pasted into the bug report since these are quite long) Thanks!
