This may not be related to Linux, but since it only started happening after switching from Windows 7 to Linux I decided to post in these forums. Since the same problem happens with two (that I know of) different parts, I decided to make just one post in this chamber.
It doesnt make sense, but it does happen. At work I have no Internet connection that I have access to. Sometimes I will have only a short time to use it, so I wont plug it in. I have the original backup battery pack that came with the laptop. The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite L655d-S5151 (Intel dual processor, 64bit, 4G RAM).
At work the laptop works just fine, even when not plugged in. No problems at all.
At home is a different story. There is no problem when I have my wireless DSL modem turned on and the laptop plugged in. At home, I usually leave the laptop plugged in. Sometimes I dont need to be on the Internet and especially if Im only going to be on for a short time, I leave the modem off.
Since switching to Linux, if the modem is off at home, I keep getting a prompt every ten minutes or so to connect. This doesnt happen at work where my modem is miles away.
Just last Tuesday night (Wednesday morning) at work unplugged and it was fine. I tried to turn it on unplugged just a few minutes ago, and it wouldnt come on.
Its as if the laptop is able to detect when its home and expects a network connection and to be plugged in. How is it possible?
