nForce nvidia network driver can't link up when plugin wire

[Yann Sionneau]

This bug happened when i upgraded from gutsy to hardy
bug description : when i plug an ethernet wire it does nothing, nothing appears like "eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex" in dmesg
so i cannot use the network interface ... cannot get an ip via dhcp ... cannot use static ip... can do nothing.
seeing that networking didn't work i thought the upgrade from gutsy went wront so i installed from scratch with Hardy ISO but it still doesn't work.
Same problem on the Hardy live CD with linux 2.6.24-16-generic
It works very well on Windows XP and on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn and Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon.

Information about the system and configuration :
uname -r : 2.6.24-16-generic
lsb_release -rd :
Description: Ubuntu 8.04
Release: 8.04
network-manager is in roaming mode
i tried using console command ifconfig and dhclient but without success (which is normal because there is no wire recognized)
i put in attachement :
lspci -v
lsmod
dmesg after bootup
tail -f /var/log/syslog while plugging in wire
content of /etc/network/interfaces
output of ethtool eth0 and ethtool eth1 (which is the same before and after pluging in a wire (no wire detected )).

here is the dmesg attachement.

here is the lspci -v attachement.

most likely a low level thing. moving to linux package.

i found out this bug is a duplicate of this one : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/136836
The solution explained worked well (adding two options msi=0 msix=0 while modprobing the module forcedeth)
here is what i did :
i put this line in the file /etc/modprobe.d/options
options forcedeth msi=0 msix=0
and i did :
sudo update-initramfs -u
and then reboot, and it worked well configuring interface with dhcp.
