Well it sounds to me as if the update broke it - perhaps if you undo the update and see if it starts working again?

My knowledge doesn't stretch that far, so you'll need a how to from someone else.

What kind of network is it? Wired I'd wireless? And if wireless, open or encrypted, with what encryption? (WEP? WPA?)

For some reason, my Acer One Netbook, running Ubuntu 2.24.1which is kind of confusing, since I thought it was supposed to be an eee pc version. I have this feeling, last night, there was an update, which I installed, and its today I cant connect via the network. I dont have a clue what has happened to the eeepc installation.

Please can somebody help me please? I just have no clue about what has happened here.

Thank you

I've also got this issue and there's a bug open on launchpad: [8]https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/332903

For the time being your old kernel should be installed. When you start up you should get a prompt for a few seconds saying "press escape to see menu" or similar. Do that and then you should get a menu of installed kernels, the 2nd non-safemode entry should be from before the update...

adam.

Ah, so it might not be my fault, I'm crossing my fingers it isnt. Thank you for letting me know.

When you say the second non-safemode entry, is that the eee pc non-safemode entry? I installed eee pc because the full version was causing me problems with the network, and it wasnt finding wireles. It was working fine until the update, the wireless connection was being found as soon as it booted. I use the wireless a lot, as I use the netbook whilst watching tv. I also take it out with me too.
