RTL8139 fails after 7.10 upgrade

[mbudd]

I downloaded the 7.10 CDROM and installed it on my Toshiba 2435-S255 laptop. After booting to disk it invited me to upgrade which I accepted. The network initially worked, but then it fails. Even the link lights don't light. The network manager tries to dhcp, but fails and assigns the 169.254 IP adress. 8139too is the driver. Here is lsmod:

This is my third install resulting in this problem. The system is useless without a working network. I'm getting frustrated!
I also had problems with the upgrade and X. But they were fixed by running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. Don't know if something there might have affected this.
TIA.

Do you dual-boot this system with Windows? If yes, can you check suggestion from bug 156496?

[mbudd (marvbudd)]

I enabled Wake-on-LAN after shutdown as specified. Now it works! Thanks very much.

[Luka Renko (lure)]

Thanks for confirming that this is duplicate bug.

Beginning with the Hardy Heron 8.04 development cycle, all open Ubuntu kernel bugs need to be reported against the "linux" kernel package. We are automatically migrating this bug to the new "linux" package. However, development has already began for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. It would be helpful if you could test the upcoming release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . If the issue still exists, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux" task from "Incomplete" to "New". We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Thanks!
