[Studio25]

There you go - back in now, using a fresh install of Ubuntu 25min after my last post. And that includes an 245 MB update session in update manager. Now on 2.6.32-24 (Wubi installs 2.6.32-21)

Will edit this post with the info you requested, Entwisi...

OK - here it is: When I attach the 'phone, I get a popup message top right saying "Auto ETH1 - Connection established"
Apart from the tiniest of spikes in network activity on System Monitor, nowt else.

The output from DMESG is

(Square brackets changed to curly brackets, just in case it causes a problem)

Incidentally, the phone was connected all the time during install. I unplugged it for a few seconds and plugged it back in, which is probably why there's a USB disconnect in there...
