Hi all,
I am now again into the issue that the ethernet connection to my cable modem/router (unitymedia horizon box) has become unstable.
I decided to switch off network manager (deselected service at startup) and installed wicd via the gslapt tool.
But, the problem remains.
I am not 100% sure when the issue turned up again, but I am relatively sure it was with the last update, received via
the system update service (gslapt).
The issue is, the connection gets established (both packages) but within few minutes and then within seconds the connection
is terminated and lost. Reconnection is possible but sometimes it takes really long before a line being stable for at least some
minutes is established. But, it will go dead soon, not matter which package or setting I tried.
I will be off soon for holidays, but i am really frustated that this issue seems unresolved now since long.
Reading through the "Configure NetworkManager..." thread does tell me, its not so uncommon to get this problem.
However I am a bit unsure if the proposed solutiion is the right one - same as stated above.
All other devices connected to the box via WLan are running properly.
I tested the ethernet wired connection with this laptop as well (same cable, same port, same box), but no issue there.
So something happened and is happening in my SalixPC and I would like to make it go away
Update: I just discovered that I had already the dhcp solution in place as indicated above. So even that was obviously not the reason/solution.
Update2: strange enough, WICD is now provoding a stable connection since a while...
Thanks.
