Partial Workaround:
ethtool says that the card is MDI-X instead of MDI. Typing "ethtool -s eth0
autoneg off" fixes the problem until next reboot. I do need to restart
"networking" and "network-manager" to get a ip afterwords though.
I put this in /etc/rc.local as a workaround, but I'd really like a better
solution:
ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off
service network-manager restart && true
service networking restart && true
sleep 3
Would looking at anything in a packet sniffer help at all? Also, Linux
machines that are NOT a "Inspiron 530s" work just fine on my network.

This is not a full workaround because I can't do this during the OS
installation.
** Description changed:
- This contains the apport for bug 601159. I opened a second bug because
- I was told there's no way to add an existing report to an existing bug.
+ I am having trouble with the e1000 integrated ethernet port on "Inspiron
+ 530s" towers. The problem is intermittent, happens under Lucid, and not
+ under Windows. The same problem happens on all three identical
+ computers.
+
+ The interface never acquires an ipaddress. I have tried 2 different
+ switches, from two different manufacturers, and both times Windows is
+ able to acquire an ipaddress, but Lucid is not.
+
+ ethtool says that the card is MDI-X instead of MDI. Typing "ethtool -s
+ eth0 autoneg off" fixes the problem until next reboot. I do need to
+ restart "networking" and "network-manager" to get a ip afterwords
+ though.
