Erno Kuusela, as per http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers an update is available for your BIOS (2.20). If you update to this, does it change anything?
If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-v2.20 regression-potential ** Summary changed: - r8169 ethernet doesn't work + 10ec:8168 r8169 ethernet doesn't work ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Tags removed: kernel-fixed-upstream ** Tags added: needs-kernel-fixed-upstream-version ** Summary changed: - 10ec:8168 r8169 ethernet doesn't work + 10ec:8168 [Acer Aspire V5-573G] r8169 ethernet doesn't work -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1224420 Title: 10ec:8168 [Acer Aspire V5-573G] r8169 ethernet doesn't work Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: DHCP just times out.
