if i boot laptop on battery power, internet works fine. but if i boot with ac charger connected i get a kind of partial connection in that can only browse a few websites (others wont load), cant connect to msn or repositories. ping works fine but just cant seem to download any data.
asus f5sl
wired connection
opensuse 11 kde3
Hi
Are you connecting via a router to the internet? If you run the
following command booting on battery, then on power and post the
output of both;
sudo /sbin/ethtool eth0
This is assuming eth0 is your connection, just change it if it’s a
different one.
