Given that installing the linux-generic package fixed the issue, I'm not certain how important it is now. I am quite willing to provide more information, and/or change to different kernels to help resolve this.
In the meantime, I'm now able to use the latest kernel. I'm not exactly certain why I needed to install the linux-generic package to get things working. From what I've read, it should have been the default kernel when I installed Ubuntu originally, but the search results I found on this topic were a little sketchy. I am unaware of ever choosing to install the low-latency or RT kernels. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. -- 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/1667968 Title: Ubuntu 16.10 kernel 4.8.0-39 No network connectivity Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: My last kernel update changed something that is causing the network manager to fail to load anything but the lo device. If I reboot into the previous kernel (4.8.0-38) everything works fine. I'm not certain that this issue is related to the NetworkManger or the Kernel, but the bottom line is I have not ethernet when I boot using the latest kernel. This is one of three computers I built a few years back. It's based on an Asus motherboard: P5G41T-M LX PLUS, BIOS 0502 10/21/2011 The eth0 NIC is on the motherboard. Any info you need, I will try and provide. Any help you might offer would be appreciated. I run apt-get update followed by apt-get dist-upgrade every day. This is the first time I've had a serious problem as a byproduct of updating. --- ApportVersion: 2.20.3-0ubuntu8.2 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: jerry.lumpkins 5587 F.... pulseaudio DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.10 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=4c1c5e08-0209-47f6-8250-d5e9218964b4 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-12-08 (813 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.10 "Utopic Unicorn" - Release amd64 (20141022.1) IwConfig: lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions.
