Comment 7 for bug 221499

I can confirm this.

This card worked in Feisty/Gutsy on this computer, but not in Hardy. Seems to be related to the 2.6.24 kernel:
 - When booting using the latest SystemRescueCD, choosing kernel 2.6.24, the card does _not_ work (as in Hardy)
 - When booting using the latest SystemRescueCD, choosing kernel 2.6.19, the card _does_ work.
 - Also, booting my system with the old Gutsy kernel makes the card work.

In Gutsy it was possible to attach the network cable at any time, and NetworkManager would configure the card right away. In Hardy the "Wired Network" option is grayed out unless the network cable is plugged in at boot time. Even if it is attached at boot, it does not work (not able to get an ip address via dhcp, does not work when configured manually etc).

The card also switched from eth1 to eth4 when I upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy.

My two network interfaces are these:
01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 01)
03:03.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
