I'm new to ubuntu and like it so far, everything is working great except for my wired connection that keeps disconnecting every time I watch videos on youtube. I believe its a flash problem, because I don't have any issues when I stream with a media player. I'm running 10.04 Lucid Lynx and have tried both wicd and nm, any ideas on what be the problem?.

Does your log say anything, log is in System > Administration > Logfiles (or in terminal gnome-system-log.) I think the network log is in kern.log. Try opening the log program and then start a video on youtube.

Thanks for the response. Immediately after starting a youtube video I see b44: eth0: Flow control is off for TX and off for RX, powering dowing PHY, link is not ready and it then goes on to say b43-phy0 warning: You are using an old firmware image and I should go to wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware to download the correct firmware, but that I guess for the wireless device. Sorry I couldn't workout the mini-Markdown formatting to add the whole log output. – user13064 Mar 27 '11 at 17:19
