Comment 9 for bug 672387

I'm also affected by this bug. I just installed Ubuntu 10.10, and am unable to activate the built in NIC. The motherboard is an MSI 770-C45. The ethernet connection is a built in RealTek RTL8111DL. The motherboard also has built in HD sound by RealTek - ALC888S.

I did have the ethernet working under KUBUNTU 10.04. but upgraded to Kubuntu 10.10to attempt to get the audio working. During the upgrade to 10.10, the ethernet quit working, and won't work under the Kubuntu 10.04 Live CD. The ethernet is recognized and automatically configured under Linux Mint 8 Live CD. The Linux Mint 8 Live CD is also using the r8169 driver/module, as do Ubuntu/Kubunto 10.04 and 10.10.
