Wired networking does not work on Lenovo T400s (both dock and on system)

[William Bohn]

I've tried this also on upsteam kernel versions (using current version as of 2010-07-09).

When plugging in a wired networking cable into my system directly or through Lenovo's "Advanced" dock, the network connection will not be established. I've tried the network connection on other machines, and it works fine.

Wireless networking is fine, but not ideal, so I am currently using the wireless networking.

Hi William,

If you could also please 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.

I've already tested this upsteam as stated in the original report, and networking only gets worse (random disconnects from the wireless) starting with versions released late June.
