Comment:

 I don't want what happened to me today to get lost in the cracks, so I'll
 reopen this.

 Booted Joyride 2382.  I normally run a short script to access
 updates.laptop.org, to satisfy myself that my (ethernet) uplink is working
 properly.  The script failed.  When I tried pinging the gateway, it told
 me the (ethernet) network was unreachable.  Looking in the usual control
 blocks, everything seemed to have been set up correctly (except there was
 as yet no route through 127.0.0.1).  Took dump.

 Happened a number of minutes later to try the uplink -- and it WORKED !!

 Apparently Network Manager had "completed" something that had not been set
 up following the boot-up.

 --------

 The symptom I saw followint boot-up was just the same as I've seen
 following suspend/resume.  [Suspend is always turned OFF by me doing
 'touch /etc/ohm/inhibit-idle-suspend' when I install any build.]

 But following suspend/resume (I test by closing the lid), I've never seen
 ethernet access recover from 'Network unreachable'.  This time it did.  Go
 figure.
