Bug Description

There seem to be a very strange bug with an Asus X59SR Laptop, which I first believed was a network configuration issue either with my network equipment or my ISP. However I've noted that If I don't touch anything and reboot to windows the network works just fine (with DHCP).

1). I get a DHCP lease, everything look ok (DNS, default router and such).
2). I can Ping the closest router and everything else on the Net.
3). I can use ssh to another server located at another ISP.
4). If I telnet to port 80 to a random server i get a response if I type "get /".
5). I can access Google, GMail and connect to gtalk with pidgin, but nothing else seem to work: No web pages, no apt-get updates, msn with pidgin or anything. I've tried

There is no proxy needed for configuration etc in Windows Vista, just DHCP. The computer is brand new with a vanilla install for both Windows Vista and Ubuntu 08.10.

----------------- Debug Info --------------------

The bug is present in both 2.6.27-9-generic and 2.6.27-7-generic.

This bug is not rare. It seems to be related to this forum thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=424203 , as well as to this question on the answer tracker (in French) : https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/67249

A "dirty" fix has been proposed here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2545109#post2545109 ; and it worked. Do you think this is enough to confirm the bug?

Hi Tom,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/lucid.

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 321987

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
