Hi Dennis,

Support for this should be in the linux-ubuntu-modules package. Can you verify this is installed (dpkg -l "linux-ubuntu-modules*")? Thanks!

It was not installed. After installing, the NIC worked again :-)

The dependencies between the linux-* modules seem to be a bit messy, so this apparently has slipped through my upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy.

I'm on Intrepid Ibex and this driver is not working, I don't have access to eth0 at all :(

Attached is the output of "sudo lshw -class network"

It's kind of hard to report this kind of bug because I have to carry the outputs from the affected computer to another on a RW CD or USB Memory :(

This started to happen on Hardy, Gutsy did not had this problem. I was fine in Hardy by doing "sudo modprobe sundance" then restarting the PC solved the problem.

Please this is urgent!, I did the mistake of upgrading my home server (which has my family documents exported with NFS) without testing Intrepid Live first!.

btw, Live CD of Intrepid does detect Eth0 either.

I found on the web that Linux-restricted-modules provides this driver, so, it's ok to try installing linux-restricted-modules-2.6.27-7-generic_2.6.27-7.12_i386.deb?

Seems this is what is needed:
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/man4/stge.html

But I can't find it...

Umm I if start in recovery mode, Eth0 works if I choose to go only root mode, I can ping google and everything.

But if I choose to resume normal boot Eth0 breaks again :(

It's saying something in dmesg about MII transceiver not found.

Nevermind, I compared both dmesg logs, I found weird that it was telling me that ACPI did not found BIOS when booting in normal mode (so I guess Single mode does not start ACPI), I booted with option acpi=off and eth0 everythings works 100%.

For the record I have a Compaq 5000LA, Intrepid Kernel 2.6.27-7.
