Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic
Hello,
after the upgrade to linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic this morning,
ethernet (driven by r8169.ko) has stopped working: it fails to get an
address from DHCP (can not even find the server via DHCPDISCOVER).
Booting back into 2.6.27-9 solves the issue.
Unloading the kernel module and reloading it with::
modprobe r8169 debug=16
results in the following lines appearing in syslog::
Jan 29 12:38:35 abaco kernel: [ 2941.481084] r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver
2.3LK-NAPI loaded
Jan 29 12:38:35 abaco kernel: [ 2941.481123] r8169 0000:01:00.0: PCI INT A ->
GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
Jan 29 12:38:35 abaco kernel: [ 2941.481138] r8169 0000:01:00.0: cache line

Jan 29 12:38:35 abaco kernel: [ 2941.481152] r8169 0000:01:00.0: PCI INT A
disabled
Jan 29 12:38:35 abaco kernel: [ 2941.481173] r8169: probe of 0000:01:00.0
failed with error -22
and the "eth0" interface is no longerto be seen with "ifconfig". (After
boot it is there, although non-functional.)
