I have the same problem. I'm running a dual-boot system, window$ 7 and Noobuntu 11.10. If I boot in to windows, then boot into Ubuntu, the network never comes up. If I completely turn off the power (i.e. unplug the computer from the wall), then the network will come up. Other threads suggest this is a problem with WOL in Windows, however I have WOL enabled in Windows and in the bios, and in Ubuntu via ethtool (I use WOL). I also tried disabling autoneg on the device with ethtool, but that doesn't work either. I'm testing this backport driver now - I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks!
