Public bug reported:
When updating linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-23-generic from 2.6.24-23.36
to 2.6.24-23.37, my Realtek ethernet NIC stopped working. Transmits just
time out.
Downgrading to 2.6.24-23.36 and rebooting makes the card work fine
again.
The card worked fine otherwise. The second NIC in the machine is not
being used (no kmod for it loaded).
kernel = Ubuntu 2.6.24-23.48-generic
