I was able to get x windows working yesterday with the recommended fix that was posted. My desktop is back as expected, but the network connections panel in gnome says there are no network interfaces, and ifconfig in terminal only shows a loopback interface. The network app (Ubuntu) shows all interfaces, and settings that have been previously configured-eth0, and wlan0. I am able to manually bring the interfaces up using ifconfig, and iwconfig. I'm looking for a way to auto start the interfaces, and make them available in gnome again.
