[Solved] - Network Connections Widget Failures; Suspect HWE 16.04.2 / Kernel 4.8.0-42

If you can paste the content of the script here, maybe we can tell you what's wrong in it.

I already did [well, the important part of it, anyway]... in my initial code box above. The bash script literally just runs that command, to save me the hassle of having to manually type it out each time. It used to work just fine. Here's the full thing:

Code:

!#/bin/bash

# 14/10/16 --- Refresh network connections
# For Upstart:    sudo service network-manager restart
# For systemd:    sudo systemctl restart network-manager

#sudo service network-manager restart
sudo systemctl restart network-manager
#sudo systemctl restart network-manager.service
sleep 5
exit

Anyway, I doubt that anyone here at the forums will have time to trace the changelog of kernel 4.8.0-42 and find out if there is anything related to your network card, especially since the distro uses Ubuntu backend. 

Um, with respect, i actually wasn't asking anyone to do anything of the kind. All i was interested to know was...

Does anyone else have any suspicions wrt 4.8.0-42?

ie, i was curious to see if that kernel has also done anything odd for any other users here... NOT for them to pursue some technical investigation on my behalf. 

Thank you.
