Scratch #2,3,4,5. I think I loaded these from my Suse 11.2 partition. The following are from the Ubuntu partition

No report of rfkill assign to wpasupplicant

I would suggest to the affected people to try a LiveCD of Maverick too see if the problem still occurs.

Incidentally, it is possible to remove attachments by clicking (edit) in the "Bug attachments" portlet and then choosing delete attachment.

wpasupplicant still down, but no security updates regarding it, i assign to linux

I did an install of 10.04.1 plus upgrade on my Aspire One 110 (which should be near identical to the 150 beside the harddrive). After the upgrade to 2.6.32-25.45, I still got both wireless and wired network running. From the log it looks at least like ethernet and wireless device were detected and NetworkManager tried to do something with them.

Just to be sure: have you tried to check whether nm went slightly mad and disabled network or wireless support (rightclick on the nm applet icon). Other thing to try would be to see whether you can bring up ethernet manuallly with

sudo ifconfig eth0 <ip address> up

so that you could ping something in the local net.

Stefan,

Thanks for the thought. I bit-the-bullet and did a clean install of
2.6.35-22-generic and the wireless and wired work. IIRC I tried the
manual ethernet configuration and that didn't work.
