this is not urgent for us. Please do not demand priority attention from a voluntary community.

If it's really urgent, I suggest backing up your report, then reinstalling Ubuntu 11.10, but don't update it since you don't want to kill your net connectivity again. However, be careful, because you will have lost out on all of the post-release security updates.

If it's not that urgent, then I advise not doing what I suggested above, and thoughtfully considering your options before doing anything rash.

I had this issue with debian squeeze when I was exploring linux. have you tried running lspci in terminal, getting your chipset information and updating the drivers?

just re-read the post. is it the ethernet port or the wireless that's not working?

03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications AR8152 v1.1 Fast Ethernet (rev c1)

Both ethernet and wireless port aint working. Sorry for the late reply mate...

Hi Guys,

This issue is resolved... complete formatting of my HDD + a repartitioning and reinstalation of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS resolved the issue.

Thanks a lot guys,
