2009-02-10 16:56:36 Leann Ogasawara linux: statusexplanation Hi Phill, I'd agree that this bug and bug 313081 are likely duplicates. Rule of thumb is usually use the most descriptive bug with debug information as the master bug. Regardless, I'll escalate this to the Ubuntu kernel team and work getting the duplicates cleaned up so they only have one bug to reference. Thanks.

2009-02-13 18:04:13 Stefan Bader description Hi Installed Intrepid (from Kubuntu desktop CD) on mini-ITX computer with Intel 945GC and ICH7 chipset (Intel Atom processor) and on board RTL8102 Ethernet LAN (v.similar to Netbook type setups). Installation all works as expected (i.e. quick, easy, everything just works). Updated via Adept (configured as default). Restarted computer. Ethernet no longer functions. Specific observed symptoms: everything seems to work; NetworkManager sees device and tries to configure it. Manually configing device in /etc/network/interfaces and restarting gives no errors. ifconfig shows config is as expected. Pinging anything other than localhost (either 127.0.0.1 or static IP address) fails with "network unreachable". Interesting snippet - ifconfig shows lots and lots of rx dropped packets and a few tx dropped packets. Log entries state r8169 link up. sudo modprobe -r r8169 && modprobe r8169 gives "failed with error -22" Restarting and using grub menu to boot with 2.27-7 causes NIC to function again. This is what is known in the trade as a show-stopper as people with little technical knowledge would have been presented with a useless system which they would be unable to update any further. It is of course possible that I am only person using this particular Jetway NC91 motherboard (highly unlikely) or that the manufacturer has done something outside of reference specs such that this problem is rare. Recommend release patched kernel ASAP or finding some way of alerting users of this problem. SRU justification: Impact: This was reported as a regression against Intrepid. The change that most likely caused this was a fix (which was now asked for Hardy by another user) to remove access to a certain register for cards other than 8169. Unfortunately the code uses in some cases the PCI information but in other cases the MAC version to decide how to handle a card. For those cards in question the 8101 code is used to initialize the cards hardware but for other aspects the unknown MAC causes it to be handled as a 8169 card. The fact that those cards worked before seems to be pure luck. Fix: The following 5 patches taken from upstream adds proper support for those cards. Testcase: Networking was impossible before and has been verified to be working after by several users.
