hi there! I just installed a fresh copy of breezy right now, to try to reproduce the problem and document this better. I just installed it, the only thing i did till now was open the package manager, specify the proxy server for my connection and add the repos for brezzy packages/updates/security. Right now it's downloading 322 packages that need to be upgraded, network is working for now... I'm pasting the lspci and lsmod outputs for now, so you get an idea about my machine configuration. I will now wait for the updates do be installed and reboot the machine. seba@malcolm:~$ uname -a Linux malcolm 2.6.12-8-amd64-generic #1 Tue Aug 30 23:28:02 BST 2005 x86_64 GNU/Linux seba@malcolm:~$
