I had the same problem, both on Ubuntu 6.10 and 7.04.
I upgraded to 7.04 to see if upgrading fixed the problem - which it
didn't. So the following workaround may not work on 6.10, but it might.
However, it does seem to work on 7.04 (linux kernel 2.6.20-16)
I made sure that the tg3 kernel module is loaded before the e1000
module. Currently I have done this buy adding the following lines to
/etc/network/interfaces.
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.3.13
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.3.103
pre-up modprobe -r e1000
pre-up modprobe tg3
pre-up modprobe e1000
pre-up sleep 5
There may be better ways to achieve the same end.
