For me shutting down the system, unplugging the power supply, waiting a minute and then restarting solved the issue, at least by now.
I have Lucid Lynx 32 bit, kernel 2.6.32-26-generic, and the network adapter stopped working with no apparent reason, after a month or so of normal use (well actually a couple of strange system freezing happened). The motherboard is an asus p7p55 LX and the card is detected as "RTL8111/8168" controller. Driver was the default one, r8169. It is now Realtek's one, r8168, but installing it didn't work by itself (but I hope it will at least prevent the freezing issue). I got the problem fixed only with unplug. Simple reboot didn't work, leaving the pc shut down for a day (but with the power cable still plugged) didn't work, a lot of other stuff didn't work... only after restart *and* unplugging I got the network working. So, unplugging is worth trying.... fast and harmless, and it could solve. At least for a while. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/573259 Title: Ubuntu 10.04 makes RTL8111/8168B network card unusable until cold reboot -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
