Public bug reported: I'm using the P5B motherboard with a RTL8111B integrated NIC. Dapper and Feisty install the kernel module r8169 as the "driver" for the NIC. The card shows up in both network-manager-gnome and ifconfig, but dhclient (not the network-manager-gnome or ifup either) doesn't find any DHCPOFFERS on the network (yes, the network cable is plugged in and there's a DHCP server on the network (the computer is connected directly to a combined ADSL modem/network router)):
