Comment 53 for bug 225749

because it is a new kernel in development i start a new thread for the bug 225749.

kernel 2.6.27-3-generic
chip-set rtl8102e
os Ubuntu Intrepid Alpha-6
comp Toshiba Satellite L300

no problems installing intrepid even with LAN enabled in the bios. network at installation will not work. but first time start up gives a fully working rtl8102e.
reboot give a eth0 but not a ip
and here it comes

doing a warm reboot, hit the bios, disable LAN, continue boot, surely eth0 is not there
but
do a warm reboot again, hit bios, enable LAN, continue reboot and ta-ta eth0 is working again.
i know it is a dumb workaround but it works. can this workaround be confirmed, mention outcome of "uname-r"
if you need more info, let me know.
