Public bug reported:
Yesterday morning, the computer was working well, and happily accessing
files over NFS.
I turned off this computer; when I turned it back on, it wasn't visible
on the network.
There is no sign of ethernet in either lspci output or dmesg (no useful
matches for grepping 'eth'), whether I use the installed ubuntu 8.10 or
boot from the 8.10 installer DVD. I have checked that ethernet is
enabled in the BIOS, though there is no sign of it in the list of PCI
devices that the BIOS produces on startup. The board apparently has a
Realtek 8111D chip to provide ethernet; 'modprobe r8169' produces no
visible output and does not make the ethernet work again.
One google suggested enabling the LAN boot ROM, but that makes no
difference.
This is feeling like a hardware problem to me, but I'm wondering if
anyone else has seen it.
