Comment 124 for bug 446146

hey guys this might be a bit stupid but it worked for me
when i log in to ubuntu the modem doesn't work but it says or the notification area says that the network connection is established and available but cant browse or chat or do an installation using apt-get then wat i did was i logged out and logged in again vola it works fine :D i think its the easiest way to overcome this till this bug is fixed.
