I updated my system 6 days ago through eth0, during that update my system was acting very weird(almost similar to a windows virus i encountered), my cursor would lag very bad and even trying to move it would cause it to create new folders and such. I then pulled the eth0 line and it would immediately go back to normal, no moving cursor no folders and such being created as if i was running my fingers through the trackpad,the update completed successfully. Today while trying to perform another update through eth0, all i am getting is the revolving symbol of it trying to find/connect to a network.However my cursor and other functions work as expected. My wlan0 is working perfectly fine and i even tried the eth0 line on other computers and it works flawlessly. Any suggestions?

sounds like the ram is full up

if you were to post the system specs ?
then we might be able to help more

or

this is a usb2 install and well it is usb2 and using a lot of read/write and THAT will really slow it down

or

this is a live dvd install and well .....

or

this is a virtual install so........

hard dropping the network connection
not a fix !!!

run
ifup and ifdown

that can happen from pulling out the plug without turning it off first

rerun ifconfig

Sorry complete newb to kali and this forum. I am running a macbook pro mid 2009 os x yosemite on a dual boot with kali. 100 of 150GB allocated to Kali and 2GB ram. Running the ifdown and ifup did the trick. Much appreciated.

being new you REALLY should read and CONSIDER the kali developers warning and advice

please READ the section on the kali web site called
"Should I Use Kali Linux?"
and
"Is Kali Linux Right For You?"
