Ethernet card "Marvell 88E8001" does not work on ubuntu 11.04

[Vincent Kaz]

Binary package hint: network-manager

I meet some problem to install ubuntu 11.04 via the alternate CD or live-CD. The Ethernet card does not work out of the box. The ethernet card is on an ASUS P5NSLI:

"06:0c.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8001 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 13)".

I try to resolve this by changing parameters (DHCP or Static) but nothing helped. This card worked perfectly on all versions of Debian and Ubuntu since least 4 years.

I unfortunately have no idea which driver drives this marvel card. Could you please try this again from the live-CD and attach to this bug the logs in /var/log/syslog? This may offer some extra information about where the Marvel card stops being recognized, if it's an issue with the kernel driver or with NetworkManager.

Thanks!

Vincent Kaz, 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? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding.
