** Description changed: - I am having trouble with my e1000 integrated ethernet port. The problem - is intermittent, happens under Lucid, and not under Windows.

The problem is intermittent, happens under Lucid, and not + under Windows. The same problem happens on all three identical + computers. The interface never acquires an ipaddress. I have tried 2 different - switches, from two different manfacturers, af both work under Windows - and not under Lucid. + switches, from two different manufacturers, and both times Windows is + able to acquire an ipaddress, but Lucid is not. ethtool says that the card is MDI-X instead of MDI. Typing "ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off" fixes the problem until next reboot. I do need to restart "networking" and "network-manager" to get a ip afterwords though. I put this in /etc/rc.local as a workaround, but I'd really like a better solution: ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off service network-manager restart && true service networking restart && true sleep 3 Would looking at anything in a packet sniffer help at all? Also, Linux - machines that are NOT Inspiron 530s work just fine. + machines that are NOT a "Inspiron 530s" work just fine on my network.
