Wicd has some problems and wont turn off out of nowhere, I would advise using the default LM network-manager.

But my internet connection is working.

I'm trying to show a specific webpage 24-7.
After a while it seems like the internet connection drops and I get
http://www.flickr.com/photos/23374316@N05/8409474266/

If I go to the machine and reload(or restart) it will show me the page again.

Thankf for your help :-)

I find another solution, system load two drivers but only use on of them; it is necessary put the second drive on a blacklist, because system is jumping from one to another and so it drops the connection.

It is in Brazilian Portuguese and I will make a translate/resume and post here tonight.

Open a terminal and:

lspci -vvv
Search kernel driver in use, and kernel modules, like the example;
