Lubuntu 11.10; Atheros AR8132 PCI-E Ethernet card; Realtek RTL8191SE
Wireless Lan 802.11n PCI-E NIC. Toshiba laptop Satellite T110.

Until this morning, no connection issues either by wireless or
Ethernet.

Now, the connection indicator shows as connected for either (depending
of course on which one I select to be active), and shows in case of
the wireless the signal strength, but in actual fact cannot browse,
get mail etc etc.

Firefox & others come up with "no network connection" sort of error.

Dual boot, no such issue with Windoze.

 ifconfig shows all RX & TX as errors, and I can ping the router ok.

On reflection, what happened yesterday was that I had to rush to catch
a flight, the laptop had been on all night, and was locked up in a
screen saver, no response. I had to press the on/off key to shut down.
Maybe this caused the issue?

Would appreciate assistance getting both cards up again in Lubuntu,
also some sort of idea why this happened.

And, as usual, thanks in advance!

apologies if you have read before.)

PS this happens in multiple locations, so not an isp problem, thanks!
