I experience this problem with exactly the same messages in my syslog as mentioned by the first reporter, on an Edubuntu server with more than one kernel, but including 2.6.15-26-686 smp.
Intermittent network problems requiring a reboot are a nuisance on a laptop or desktop, but in a classroom server, which is the one critical point of failure, it is a showstopper. The same hardware still works fine under Breezy, which I kept in another partition. What needs to be done to get this bug changed from unconfirmed status, medium importance and low urgency? -- Network card stops working (sky2) https://launchpad.net/bugs/41634 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
