Title:
NM fails to configure wired interface (but only when connected to
router, not when connected to a laptop)
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
I just installed Ubuntu 11.10 on a pc with a Realtek ethernet card (Ltd.
RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller). Everything is fine
except the wired connection doesn't work :/
The problem occurs when connecting the PC directly to the router via the
ethernet cable. But if I connect the PC to the laptop via the ethernet cable
and use the laptop wifi connection, I can connect the PC to internet through
the laptop, so the problem it's not the network card or the ethernet cable.
Previously on the PC I had an Ubuntu 9 connected directly to the router and
everything worked just fine. There's a Windows on the PC, with whom the wired
connection works fine.
In /var/log/syslog I see this when I connect the PC to the router:

Sometimes it's:

Oct 24 05:00:37 ramiro-MS-7501 NetworkManager[936]: <info> (eth0):

So it seems a Network-manager issue...
I have tried changing the options on the "Edit connections" dialog
(deactivating IPv6, setting a static IP for the wired connection
instead of DHCP, etc). I even tried removing the R8169 module and
compiling and loading the R8168 module instead but nothing worked,
still no connection to the router.
When this happens, "route" shows nothing, and "sudo route add defaut
gw 192.168.1.1" returns an error (SIOCADDRT: No such process)
Ethtools returns:
