Realtek rtl8101e wired network card does not work on boot only on restart.

[nxnn]

My ethernet wired connection only works after I reboot and not from a cold reboot. There used to be an error in Hardy, Ibex, Jaunty that said unsupported pm caps version 7 after a reboot. The network card does indeed have this version 7 and this is probably the issue.I am curious to find a fix for this issue so that I don't have to boot twice to use my computer on the internet.

I am also having this issue.

See the comment May 17th 2009 for a potential workaround at http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-977074.html - would be nice for this to be integrated.

Hi nxnn,

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/ .

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 459282

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.

Hi Jeremy,

I upgraded to the beta on my computer and it is still an issue. I reported the data for it I think. I can test the kernel thing too later this week.

Thanks,

Nick

After running all the available updates as of this morning this is still an issue and the ethernet will only work after a restart and not a cold boot.

I figured out the issue. Was a BIOS problem unrelated to Ubuntu.
