Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-image-
The driver for the R6040 NIC is not compiled in the linux image. The driver is included in the kernel source but disabled for compilation.
The R6040 NIC is used by the VortexDX processor.
1) Ubuntu Server 10.04.1 LTS
2) 2.6.32-24.39
3) I expected the driver to be available for use after installing Ubuntu
4) I had to download kernel source on another PC and compile the kernel to obtain the driver

Hi Wimpie,
Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http:// cdimage. ubuntu. com/daily/ current/ . If the issue remains, please run the following command from a Terminal (Applications- >Accessories- >Terminal) . It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.
apport-collect -p linux 650899
Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/KernelMainl ineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs- upstream- testing' tag. 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. Please let us know your results.
Thanks in advance.
