eth0 not working on snowball, since January Linaro release

[Cedric Durand]

I tested Linaro ubuntu 2013 releases on two different snowballs, and neither has the eth0 working.
Linaro Android is working fine on both cards, eth0 is active and operational.

Hi,

according to our test results, the network interface works well.
Could you try latest RC: http://snapshots.linaro.org/ubuntu/pre-built/snowball/344/snowball-raring_developer_20130526-344.img.gz
