Public bug reported:
Running regular 7.10 ( 2.6.22-14-generic) on a AMD64 computer (don't
want to use the 64-bit version of Ubuntu for reasons like flash) ,
onboard NIC using the forcedeth driver.
I seem to be having intermittent problems with my wired connection since
switching to 7.10. Sometimes my wired connection just does not start at
boot up. From where I sit I can see my router, and on these occasions no
lights for that wired connection. When I log in to Ubuntu, no internet
connection (the icon shows no wired connection).
If I do a hard boot, sometimes the connection starts at bootup, and
everything's fine when I log in. Sometimes the hard boot doesn't help.
The connection worked fine before 7.10, and I have tried different
cables, restarting the router, etc. I still get these random failures to
even recognize the connection at boot up. Everything works fine when I'm
not using Ubuntu 7.10. One thing that did work once was unplugging and
replugging in to the NIC after logging in to Ubuntu. Viola, router
lights come on and I have a connection.
If there's any more info I can give, please let me know, as I'd like to
get this resolved.
