Just want to add my observation regarding this issue, hopefully it may help the ubuntu team to find narrow down the caused and find the fix.
I am basically have 3 machines at my home: 1 Laptop (Dell, running Vista homepremium, wireless connection to the router), and 2 Desktops (one with Ubuntu Hardy 2.6.24-16 generic and the other dual boot XP/Feisty; both machines wired connection to the router DLink DSL 604T ADSL- Router). The computer which has Hardy installed is similar to what Kevin has (CPU: Intel E2180 M/B: Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L Lan: Realtek RTL 8111C chip (on-board). I noticed that if I turn on the Hardy machine while the laptop is off/or in sleeping mode, internet connection is always successful (from Hardy machine). However, if hardy machine is turn-on while the laptop is already on (so it turns-on after the Laptop), connection will never successful (failed). There is no affect from the other desktop. i.e. internet connection from Hardy machine will always successful even if the XP/Feisty was turn-on first. If I use the 100/10 LAN card for the Hardy machine (so disable the on- board gigabit LAN), it always be able to establish the connection even if it is turn-on after/while the laptop is already on So, in my case the unsuccesfull connection is due to some other computer with wireless connection has preceeded a Hardy machine using gigabit lan. I don't know if the other have particulary observed this situation too when they say sometimes work and sometimes doesnt.
