2008-10-22 13:11:35 Anton Kraus description Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic With the latest 2.6.27-7-generic kernel (linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic_2.6.27-7.13_i386.deb) my onboard ethernet doesn't work anymore. The problem wasn't present with one of the earlier 2.6.27-7 kernels. I didn't reboot for several days, so I can't tell for sure which update introduced the bug. Older kernel versions work fine. lspci tells the following: 02:05.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401 100Base-T (rev 01) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device 80a8 Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx- Latency: 32 Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 10 Region 0: Memory at dd000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K] Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1+ D2+ AuxCurrent=375mA PME(D0+,D1+,D2+,D3hot+,D3cold+) Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=2 PME- Kernel modules: b44 dmesg shows several error messages about the b44 module: [ 22.343318] b44: disagrees about version of symbol ssb_device_is_enabled [ 22.343387] b44: Unknown symbol ssb_device_is_enabled [ 22.343725] b44: disagrees about version of symbol ssb_pcicore_dev_irqvecs_enable [ 22.343795] b44: Unknown symbol ssb_pcicore_dev_irqvecs_enable [ 22.344297] b44: disagrees about version of symbol ssb_bus_may_powerdown [ 22.344359] b44: Unknown symbol ssb_bus_may_powerdown [ 22.344592] b44: disagrees about version of symbol ssb_dma_free_consistent [ 22.344648] b44: Unknown symbol ssb_dma_free_consistent [ 22.345236] b44: disagrees about version of symbol ssb_pcihost_register [ 22.345296] b44: Unknown symbol ssb_pcihost_register [ 22.345852] b44: disagrees about version of symbol ssb_dma_alloc_consistent [ 22.345904] b44: Unknown symbol ssb_dma_alloc_consistent [ 22.346231] b44: disagrees about version of symbol ssb_dma_set_mask [ 22.346287] b44: Unknown symbol ssb_dma_set_mask [ 22.346876] b44: disagrees about version of symbol ssb_device_enable [ 22.346928] b44: Unknown symbol ssb_device_enable [ 22.347563] b44: disagrees about version of symbol ssb_driver_unregister [ 22.347616] b44: Unknown symbol ssb_driver_unregister [ 22.348135] b44: disagrees about version of symbol __ssb_driver_register [ 22.348186] b44: Unknown symbol __ssb_driver_register [ 22.348492] b44: disagrees about version of symbol ssb_bus_powerup [ 22.348541] b44: Unknown symbol ssb_bus_powerup [ 22.349333] b44: disagrees about version of symbol ssb_clockspeed [ 22.349383] b44: Unknown symbol ssb_clockspeed [ 22.349667] b44: disagrees about version of symbol ssb_dma_translation [ 22.349717] b44: Unknown symbol ssb_dma_translation I hope this information helps. Binary package hint: linux-backports-modules-2.6.27-7-generic My onboard ethernet works fine with the latest kernel. With the backports modules installed, however, this isn't the case. lspci tells the following: 02:05.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401 100Base-T (rev 01) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

2008-11-02 23:43:07 Chris Coulson linux-backports-modules-2.6.27: statusexplanation Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it without more information. Please include the following additional information, if you have not already done so (pay attention to lspci's additional options), as required by the Ubuntu Kernel Team: 1. Please include the output of the command "uname -a" in your next response. It should be one, long line of text which includes the exact kernel version you're running, as well as the CPU architecture. 2. Please run the command "dmesg > dmesg.log" after a fresh boot and attach the resulting file "dmesg.log" to this bug report. 3. Please run the command "sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log" and attach the resulting file "lspci-vvnn.log" to this bug report. 4. Please run "modinfo b44" and paste the output. For your reference, the full description of procedures for kernel-related bug reports is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies Thanks in advance!
