I can confirm this bug too on Ubuntu 8.10. I have a Foxconn A6VMX motherboard which has the rtl8101e onboard network adapter, and it is unable to connect via DHCP on my LG ADSL modem (LAM 400c). The strange thing is that, when I connect my PC directly to the modem, "sudo dhclient eth0" says "send_packet:message too long" and can't connect to anything else anymore until reboot. Now, if I connect the modem to another machine I have (running Windows XP and with ICS set up), the XP machine gets a connection, and my machine connected to the XP machine gets a DHCP address with no further problems.
