Comment 0 for bug 672387

Hi

I have a Gigabyte GA-P55-UD3 motherboard which comes with a builtin Realtek RTL8111D onboard ethernet:
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 03)
        Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology GA-EP45-DS5 Motherboard
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 49
        I/O ports at be00 [size=256]
        Memory at fbeff000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=4K]
        Memory at fbef8000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=16K]
        [virtual] Expansion ROM at fbe00000 [disabled] [size=128K]
        Capabilities: <access denied>
        Kernel driver in use: r8169
        Kernel modules: r8169

This doesn't work at all under Ubuntu 10.10 with all updates installed, I never get a link: Network Manager shows the adapter as disconnected and ip link show eth0 gives:
2: eth0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN qlen 1000

The adapter works under Windows 7.

If one has booted Linux once, then the adapter doesn't work under Windows 7 anymore, even after a power off/power on cycle. One needs to power off and *turn off the power supply* (on/off power supply switch or remove power cable) for e.g. 5 mn to get the adapter to work again under Windows.

Bye,
