Comment 2 for bug 1007236

I can confirm this for the 64 bit kernel as well. If I drop back and use the kernel 3.2.0-17 I do not have the problem. In my case the lights do not blink as described here. On my system the lights on the interface do not light up at all, and the light for the connection on my Microsoft MN-500 router blinks green slowly, roughly a 1 second duration blink every 3 or 4 seconds. I didn't notice anything in dmesg, but I had only looked right after booting up, I haven't had the time to delve into this in detail, I can later though if anyone needs more information than the original poster provided.
