Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-image-
The ethernet controller worked fine on jaunty. Upgraded to karmic and now doesn't work anymore. However, if I boot karmic from the previous jaunty kernel, then it works fine.

There are only a few changes in this driver from Jaunty to Karmic. Given the error message I am suspicious of one specific change. As a first test I have backed out this suspicious change and have build some 32bit test kernels. If you could test that kernel and let me know if that works for you. Please report back here. Kernels can be found at the url below:
