[Bug 270153] [NEW] no cable network

[eva]

Public bug reported:

Hello,

This is an Acer laptop Aspire 1640. I normally connect to internet through wireless. This time I plugged int the Ethernet cable and I had internet. No ping to the Gateway, no ping to www.google. I don't use any firewall.
Doing 

$ ifconfig

everything looked fine. I went to the Network icon, and changed
"Itinerary mode" into "DHCP". But still didnt work. I changed into
"Static IP" and it didn't work either. I did the following on a
terminal, but still didnt work, and had an unknown error to me:

I never heard of this error message before:

I attach the /var/log/syslog file.

Thank you.
