Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
I just installed a clean copy of 10.04 LTS Lucid on a desktop PC. Network-manager cannot connect to the wired network. I was successfully running 9.10 Karmic before.
I tested the 10.04 LiveCD, and the same problem exists. I downloaded 10.10 Maverick alpha 3 and booted into the LiveCD. Network-manager could not connect under Maverick either.
The computer has an Intel DG965WH motherboard with integrated Intel 82566DC gigabit ethernet.
In Lucid, there is no "auto eth0" or other entry listed when clicking on the taskbar icon. When I choose "Edit Connections", there is an "auto eth0" entry and its properties look normal.
In Maverick, there is an "auto eth0" entry when clicking on the taskbar icon. Clicking on it fails to connect after a minute or two. Syslog for this is attached.
To verify the network cable and plug/connector are still good, I successfully connected a laptop to it.
Hi!
Is there a DHCP server available on the network to give out addresses? The attached syslog shows that eth0 is enabled and loaded but fails to receive (or maybe send DHCP responses/requests. If there is no DHCP, then you may want to set a static IP address on the interface, which can be done from the connection editor.
