cannot get an ip adress

[Alex Loes]

While kubuntu 10.04 works fine, 10.10 has a problem getting an ip adress. Knetworkmanager reports that a cable is not connected, while it is, even after stopping the network-manager and restarting it, doesn't change something. After stopping it and try directly sudo dhclient eth0, it doesn't work.
My card is an Intel Corporation 82566DC Gigabit Network Connection (rev 02)
The card is recognized but dhcp couldn't get an adress.

Hello
Is an update or a fresh install.
If is a fresh install can you verify that MD5sum match with

A fresh install from the cd -> amd64 desktop
And the MD5 sum is the same as announced at kubuntu.com

I can get an IP adress in a fresh installation of kubuntu 10.10 in 32bit.

No, don't close it. The problem still remains in kubuntu 64bit.

What can I do to correct it?

[Alex Loes (alex-loes)]

The problem only occurs in the 64bit version of kubuntu.
32 bit just works.

I have reassigned this issue to kde network manager package for now, additionally please could you attach /var/log/syslog file to your report?

[Alex Loes (alex-loes)]

Here is the file /var/log/syslog
