Bug Description
Ive just received a new Dell Inspiron 1525. The wired NIC is a Marvell 88E8040 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller (rev 12).
Ubuntu 7.10 recognizes the card and loads the sky2 driver. I've no error in dmesg or syslog, but the card cannot obtain an address from the network. Works fine in Windows with same cable/network.

This problem seems to be resolved by the 2.6.24 kernel (info from the driver dev and Tim Gardner). ubuntuforums. org/showthread. php?t=646755
I followed this post's instructions to install a more recent kernel under Gutsy.
