I have quite the peculiar problem here: Whenever I boot into ubuntu I do not have any internet access and it runs painfully slow. However when I boot into the failsafe graphics mode under the recovery boot option everything runs fine and dandy. Naturally I thought this would indicate a graphics issue, but the fact that I have internet in failsafe mode is confusing me.

Running ubuntu 10.04 x86 on an emachines T5216
