Lu 12.04 "Network Manager is not working"?? YT is not working either . . .

[Fritz Hudnut]

@Israel:  Read through your earlier post . . . and started with running
"lsmod" . . . looks like "snd_aoa" is listed . . . as well as "airport"  .
. . does that mean doing the "modprobe" items you mentioned would be the
next step?  I'd prefer not to mess things up in the pursuit of "fixing"
them.  And, reminder, this is a circa '01?? iMac G4, not an iBook--if that
would make any difference.  Is this now clearly part of the "hw-detect bug
thingie" . . . and the modprobe instructions below or in the "iBook sound"
thread would be OK to try?
