Bug Description

After upgrading to 8.10, I couldn't connect to my router. My router is set as a DHCP server which has alwas worked fine.

I tried to set the IP address manually, first by setting /etc/network/interfaces and restarting the networking daemon.
That failed and I had to revert the file.

Then I tried to set it using ifconfig:
# ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
That failed with the following error: SIOCSIFADDR: No buffer space available.

After fiddling around some more, I put my backup back (a working hardy) and retried the upgrading procedure. It failed again. Now I'm back on Hardy and I'm waiting for the 8.10 CD to arrive and try a clean install.

I tried a clean install of Intrepid from the final ISO, the Network Connection worked initially but upon upgrading the kernel through Update Manager, the next reboot rendered the Network not working. While not returning a specific error that I can ascertain, it would not work in either static or dynamic configuration. I'm using an Intel D945GCLF motherboard; I think the onboard lan might be Realtek 8 series, I can provide more info if required.

I did a clean install also , network connection icon comes up but no internet. Same error message:
SIOCSIFADDR: No buffer space available
I think my Bug 293446 is a duplicate.

I also am having major problems after upgrades. OpenVPN is broken and AT&T wireless card no longer shows up in NM pop up. All was working fine before upgrade :-(

I'm marking this as a dupe of bug 284377 since we have more info there, although this was reported earlier

HoFa, 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.
