Public bug reported:

I downloaded the 7.10 CDROM and installed it on my Toshiba 2435-S255 laptop. 
After booting to disk it invited me to upgrade which I accepted. The network 
initially worked, but then it fails. Even the link lights don't light. The 
network manager tries to dhcp, but fails and assigns the 169.254 IP adress. 
8139too is the driver. Here is lsmod:

This is my third install resulting in this problem. The system is useless 
without a working network. I'm getting frustrated!
I also had problems with the upgrade and X. But they were fixed by running 
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. Don't know if something there might have 
affected this.
TIA.
