Bug Description
The Linux kernal seems to have an issue with my on-board networking adapter and the ACPI of my computer. The boot log provides this bit of information:
[ 12.236250] ACPI: resource nForce2_smbus [io 0x0700-0x073f] conflicts with ACPI region SM00 [io 0x700-0x73f]
On doing some research this seems to be a very old and somewhat common bug that no one has ever done anything about.
This bug results in two things:
My on-board networking doesn't work, and trying to restart or shutdown the computer freezes the system.
With the previous 12.04 kernel, 3.2.0-23.36, there were two workarounds.
1) Boot into rescue mode, drop to the terminal, run "rmmod forcedeth" then "modprobe forcedeth msi=0 msix=0" then resume a normal boot. This enabled both networking and regular ACPI functions.
or
2) Add "forcedeth msi=0 msix=0" to /etc/modules
If you booted normally without following either of the above steps and then tried to modprobe, it wouldn't work. If you tried to rmmod the module, the system would instantly freeze.
With the new kernel update, 3.2.0-24.38, the above method number 1 still works, but number 2 no longer works as a workaround. It simply doesn't do anything.
The replacement work around for the new kernel is you must add the line "exec rmmod forcedeth" directly underneath the beginning of the script section in the file /etc/init/
I fear unless this long-standing bug is fixed once and for all so such hoops don't have to be jumped through, at one point the kernel may receive some update to where no method will be able to get this to work at all.
For the record, none of the various GRUB tweaks, such as acpi=off or acpi=force, did anything.

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/KernelMainl ineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.4kernel[1] (Not a kernel in the daily directory). Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs- upstream- testing' tag(Only that one tag, please leave the other tags). This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs- upstream- testing' text.
If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel- fixed-upstream' .
If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel- bug-exists- upstream' .
If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel- unable- to-test- upstream' .
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".
Thanks in advance.
