Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-firmware
Upon upgrade of a server running karmic from linux-image-2.6.31-18-generic-pae
to linux-image-2.6.31-20-generic-pae, network connectivity was lost. dmesg
reports:
[ 77.481635] e100 0000:00:07.0: firmware: requesting e100/d101m_ucode.bin
[ 137.473940] e100: eth0: e100_request_firmware: Failed to load firmware
"e100/d101m_ucode.bin": -2
Googling around showed that the firmware may be missing, or not in the
correct location, however it is available in:
/lib/firmware/e100/d102e_ucode.bin
/lib/firmware/e100/d101s_ucode.bin
/lib/firmware/e100/d101m_ucode.bin
/lib/firmware/2.6.31-18-generic-pae/e100/d102e_ucode.bin
/lib/firmware/2.6.31-18-generic-pae/e100/d101s_ucode.bin
/lib/firmware/2.6.31-18-generic-pae/e100/d101m_ucode.bin
/lib/firmware/2.6.31-20-generic-pae/e100/d102e_ucode.bin
/lib/firmware/2.6.31-20-generic-pae/e100/d101s_ucode.bin
/lib/firmware/2.6.31-20-generic-pae/e100/d101m_ucode.bin
downgrading to 2.6.31-18 or earlier did not resolve the problem. As a
workaround, I added another network card and reassigned the static ip to
the new network card.
