Bug Description
2.6.27-10-generic (Intrepid Ibex) loads r8169 on MSI Wind perfectly:
root@arthur:~# dmesg | grep r8169
[ 4.864018] r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI loaded
[ 4.864058] r8169 0000:01:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
[ 4.864091] r8169 0000:01:00.0: setting latency timer to 64
[ 4.864113] r8169 0000:01:00.0: unknown MAC (37a00000)
[ 50.841806] r8169: eth0: link up
on 2.6.27-11-generic, Network Manager loops getting an IP address on wired connection (upgraded 2.6.27-11 this afternoon). After checking dmesg and removing r8169 driver a couple of times, the following appears on dmesg:
root@arthur:~# dmesg | grep r8169 (on 2.6.27-11)
[ 165.428202] r8169 0000:01:00.0: PCI INT A disabled

[ 173.196250] r8169: probe of 0000:01:00.0 failed with error -22
Upgraded to 2.6.27-11 this afternoon.
Workaround : keep booting 2.6.27-10-generic.
