Alright, here I go again hehe, I’m using Emesene as an alternative to Micro$oft Live Messenger, I’ve tried many IM programs and I ended up using Emesene, but i found a problem… the problem goes like this when I open Emesene and successful logged in, I can start chatting and all that but every time I click on Emesene’s menu bar Option → Plugins || Option → Preferences (it only happens when I click on these two) somehow I get disconnected from internet (if and only if connected wireless) then I take a look at NetworkManager applet to try to reconnect and I get “wireless is disabled” and I cannot longer connect wireless until reboot.
Things I tried:
1.- I tried logging out and logging in as same / different user - no luck
2 ~>service network restarts (I still get the same message “wireless is disabled”)
3.- I even tried replacing NetworkManager applet with WICD but I was unable to
get it to work properly, so I went back to NetworkManager
Here is the NetworkManager log output just when the problem occurs:
