Yes, I am using NetworkManager. I have tried one last test. I removed
and re-installed boinc. With that, boinc was able to connect to WCG and
download 2 more work units. Boinc has only been able to connect to WCG
to get work units on a new install -- never after a re-boot. Boinc is
processing those work units now.
I have since shut down my computer and rebooted. Since the work units
are on my machine, my computer is continuing to process those units. It
will take approximately 6 hrs to finish processing them. I am waiting
to see if then it can automagically re-connect to WCG and obtain further
work units.
If it can't I will try Patrick's Network Manager solution.
If that works, I then have to decide whether this is a Network Manager
bug; a Boinc bug; or both. Of course, if boincmgr does successfully
reconnect to WCG and download additional work units, I will write the
whole thing off as my screwing around too much while Boinc was just
trying to do its thing.
