Yes the LL community(IMHO) is the best.
O.K on the initial eth <> eth success, progress
Regarding the situation now with eth <> wifi mmm
Could it be something unrelated..??
I had a WiFi connection that would go to sleep frequently,
and sometimes not wake up, so would loose the connection
first I updated the driver, then do a cron job every 1hr to do:
Code:
service network-manager restart
EDIT:
Should have given more detail.
I installed gnome-scheduler from synaptic, that gives you Scheduler in the System menu.
If you run it this way from menu tasks are only run as "normal user".
But if you open a terminal and do:
Code:
gksu gnome-scheduler
If you open Scheduler from the menu, you do not see the root tasks.
