As a workaround we can use powertop. Using this tool as root (sudo powertop), go the "Tunables" tab using left/right keys and toggle the correct entry, in my case it was "Runtime PM for PCI Device Intel Corporation 82577LM Gigabit Network Connection". Once this entry as been switched to "Bad", I can plug the cable and the interface status is set to up. This workaround has to be set each time the power cable is unplugged. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1174184 Title: Ethernet is not working when laptop is on battery power To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/1174184/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
