When I run 2.6.15-26-k7 on 6.06, my eth0 connection does not function corectly. I am able to ping specific IP Addresses if set up with a Static IP Address, but DNS does not resolve any addresses. Additionally if set up with DHCP I am unable to obtain any IP Address. (eth1 works without problem).

When I run 2.6.15-25-k7 with the same exact settings eth0 works flawlessly with both DHCP and Static IP.

Disabling IPv6 does help (I was able to boot with the 2.6.15-26-k7 kernel and use the internet with DNS working), but when I did an 'ifconfig eth0 down' followed by an 'ifconfig eth0 up' (or /etc/init.d/networking stop followed by /etc/init.d/networking start) again I can access the internet via IP Addresses, but have no DNS, and am unable to obtain an IP via DHCP.

Thank you for your bug report. Do you still have this issue with the latest stable release of Ubuntu ?

Works fine with current version and same hardware - no longer a problem.
