Comment 74 for bug 82927

Updated Xubuntu to 8.10 and after rebooting the network simply stopped working. This is a wired desktop, so no wireless concerns here. I have attempted most of the fixes described here, but nothing is working. `Fortunately this is only one of the household boxes, but it is an old reliable, so having it down is a little bit of a concern. May look around to see if I have an old NIC to install, just to see if that will improve things.
