VIA Technologies VT6102 [Rhine II] unrecognized

[secdroid]

Same system/BIOS settings, etc. work fine with 8.04.1 (up-to-date), as it does with all previous versions of Ubuntu. Fails to detect eth0 booting from ubuntu-8.10-beta-desktop-i386 livecd. Loopback networking is present but eth0 is not (in Network Tool).

Is there any other data I can collect that would help isolate this?

This bug is **not** present in 30 Oct ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso

Networking worked perfectly.
