Public bug reported:
this is a HP mini 2140 laptop, with Jaunty.
when i boot the laptop, then the network card is sometimes not recognized.
it seems that if the network-cable is not connected at boot-time,
the network-card is usually not recognized.
when the network-cable is connected at startup,
the network-card is usually recognized.
i'm saying "usually" here, because i didn't do so many tests
to see if it's 100% like i described.
(because bug 336628 it's hard to test such things)
when the network-card is detected,
lspci contains this:
"
20:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Device 436c (rev 10)
"
and the module used is "sky2".
if the network-card is not detected,
lspci simply does not contain this line.
the laptop comes preinstalled with suse linux enterprise desktop 10,
there the network-card is detected always correctly.
** Affects: linux (Ubuntu)
