Hi Leann Ogasawara:
I posted a quite complete report to Debian. This is the link:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=527056
And I make a copy here:
The ethernet controller doesn't work after normal reboot. I have to halt
the system and restart the power if I want to "reboot". The ethernet
controller works well after these "reboot" steps.
A part of "lscpi -v":
01:08.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB PRO/100 VE (MOB)
Ethernet Controller (rev 83)
Subsystem: Benq Corporation Device 500c
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 128, IRQ 10
Memory at e0008000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
I/O ports at c0c0 [size=64]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: e100
When the ethernet controller isn't working, i.e. after a normal reboot,
"lspci" can list out the information of the ethernet controller just
like above except the line "Kernel driver in use: e100". I then try
loading the "e100" module manually with "sudo modprobe e100". But it
still doesn't work.
A part of "dmesg" of a perfect boot:

And I have tried a few other versions of Linux kernel. I found that this bug
emerged in 2.6.27 version.
Default kernel of Ubuntu 8.04, i.e. 2.6.24 doesn't have this bug, and default
kernel of Testing, i.e. 2.6.26 neither.
All kernels from 2.6.27 version from multiple distributions like Ubuntu
8.10(2.6.27), Ubuntu 9.04(2.6.28), Arch(2.6.28), Gentoo(2.6.28) and
Unstable(2.6.29) have this bug, including the 2.6.29.2 kernel I compiled by
myself.
