Public bug reported:
Upon a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.10 x64 my integrated NIC on my
motherboard became disabled. I attempted using both the Live CD and the
alternate install version. I first noticed the problem while installing
when the installer could not configure my network. Once I got to the
desktop I found that Ubuntu was not even seeing a NIC. I rebooted into
Vista x64 to look for solutions only to find that my device manager
there also found no NIC. I checked the BIOS settings but there was
nothing wrong, the onboard NIC was still "enabled." The only way I was
able to activate the NIC was to reset my CMOS back to default settings.
Even then Ubuntu would not connect to my network. Windows was able to
run properly though, so I tried installing Ubuntu again. After the
install I found that my network card was once again disabled, once again
requiring a BIOS reset.
