[xubuntu-users] Networking lost on upgrade

[Gary Crosby]

2008/11/25  <xubuntu-users-request at lists.ubuntu.com>:
Well my apologies to the group. It was not xubuntu which caused the
loss of networking. The box needed to be cleaned out. A lot of dust
was in there, so I pulled the case and sprayed it out, reinstalled all
the cards, and it all works.

Thank you to Vincent for the suggestions, and once again my apology to
all. Sometimes the best solution is the simplest.
