This is the dmesg output when the NIC fails to connect. However, it took me a while to reproduce this bug: for some reason the NIC worked after rebooting and restarting without the pci-routeirq switch (and the cable disconnected during boot time of course).
I finally reproduced the situation as follows: - connect a cable - start Windows XP (it is a dual boot system) - hibernate Windows - disconnect the ethernet cable - start Kubuntu When I look into the dmesg output, it says "[ 48.106230] eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0xC5E1" while no cable is connected! So maybe the NIC requires a status reset at startup or something like that? ** Attachment added: "dmesg_fail.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/8296754/dmesg_fail.txt -- RTL8139 NIC doesn't work if no cable is connected at boot-time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123358 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
