Cannot enable networking - system crash

Post by cohen990 »

Hi,
I'm running linux mint 11 lxde on an acer aspire 1 D270.

I disabled networking and now cannot enable it as the computer crashes and reboots.

I've done some research but information is sparse.

I can give you some information but not much.
