Bug#524125: apt-get installing virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.26-2-amd64 makes my internet stop working!
Package: virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.26-2-amd64
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Whenever I install virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.26-2-amd64 and then reboot my computer, network-manager-gnome says "Wired Network Connection with a
self-assigned address" when I hover the cursor over it. This does not allow me to have any access to any network! I must apt-get remove --purge
virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.26-2-amd64 and then reboot in order to not have this problem and be able to browse the internet etc.
Having virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.26-1-amd64 or even virtualbox-ose itself doesn't cause this problem but virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.26-2-amd64
does! The reason why I chose the severity "grave" is because; unless I boot the 2.6.26-1-amd64 kernel (instead of the 2.6.26-2-amd64 kernel) with
the virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.26-1-amd64 package, I cannot get virtualbox-ose running with functional internet at all!
