Title:
  Ubuntu 12.04 alpha 1 network flaky after update

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Testing 12.04 alpha 1 64 bit on my Asus G60JX laptop.
  Worked well enough with previous versions ( http://kegel.com/linux/asus-g60jx-laptop.html ).

  As with previous versions of Ubuntu, the Live CD / normal desktop installer couldn't get graphics right, so used alternate install iso, and had to specify "nomodeset" on kernel commandline after installation to get any graphics.
  Was able to do a complete software update, then rebooted.  After that, networking seemed flakier.
  When I try downloading the nvidia display driver with "Additional Drivers", the download seems
  to hang after a few seconds.  Rebooting and retrying doesn't help.  

  There were several crashes, and apport collected data for them and
  even uploaded one of them, but I was unable to finish the login
  process at launchpad.  I had to reboot to 11.04 to file this report.

  This is all with wired networking, as wireless doesn't work at all.
