fails to find eth0

[LaMont Jones]

Binary package hint: network-manager

Network manager's applet claims that I have no wired ethernet. Manually running ifconfig allows me to use the interface.

% dmesg| grep -i eth
[ 2.361700] eth0: Broadcom 44xx/47xx 10/100BaseT Ethernet 00:1d:09:b1:75:1e
[ 103.129301] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready
[ 106.816201] b44: eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex.
[ 106.816203] b44: eth0: Flow control is off for TX and off for RX.
[ 106.824176] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready

Lamont, can you run:

apport-collect 450458

...to add more debug information to the bug?

[LaMont Jones (lamont)]

The fact that apport-collect needs me to grant it "Change anything" access to my launchpad account makes me wonder why on earth it needs total access to my account, or if it's just a lack of granularity in the launchpad api. In any case, I forgot that I'd filed this, and filed bug 453644 with more details about the machine and the end result of the configuration.

What other information would you like to see?

eth0 is not ready? is that an external wifi card you are trying to use?
