Christopher, I'm a bit confused here. Didn't I do the upstream testing as you requested? Following your instructions exactly?
Now, are you suggesting that "the issue you are reporting is an upstream one", well of course it is. You asked me to do it that way, and I obliged. As much fun as it has been getting involved in this testing and bug reports, the real reason, I made my initial report was that I have an unusable PC. I was hoping someone could suggest a practical work-around. Someone with knowledge of the new kernels who can tell me how to adapt the old work-arounds that I referenced to the current system? Is there anyone out there that can help me with that? I can see that no-one is able or willing to help me with that, so: I will unable to do any further testing on this issue as the PC is now packaged up and ready to dispatch back to the supplier, who has generously agreed to replace the motherboard for me. I note that this is an increasing problem with newer motherboards especially USB 3 ready ones. I hope that this issue is addressed soon or UBUNTU may seriously loose popularity as it will be unusable to an increasing number of new motherboard owners. Thank you for your help to date. What shall I do with this thread now? Close it down?

With an older 12.04 kernel, 3.2.0-23.36, there were two workarounds. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1003297 WORKAROUND: Boot into rescue mode, drop to the terminal, run "rmmod forcedeth" then "modprobe forcedeth msi=0 msix=0" then resume a normal boot. This enabled both networking and regular ACPI functions. This needs to be repeated at every start up and several graphics drivers do not function well until the next normal boot. --- ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.19 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: taff 2383 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: Unity DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=3707218c-3355-4bdb-a631-69aee3520e51 InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-11-25 (5 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Beta amd64 (20150805) Lsusb: Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub MachineType: To Be Filled By O.E.M.
