I tested kernel 3.4 as per your instructions, and the bug still exists. The error message of the bug has changed in this new kernel. It is now:
[ 8.416857] ACPI Warning: 0x0000000000000700-0x000000000000073f SystemIO conflicts with Region \_SB_.PCI0.SM00 1 (20120320/utaddress-251) However, the results are the same. In its default state, the sytem will not recognize the ethernet adapter, and the system hangs when you try to reboot or shut down. The workaround mentioned in my first post is still neccesary in order to get kernel 3.4 to recognize the ethernet adapter, and to shut down and reboot properly. ** Tags removed: needs-upstream-testing ** Tags added: kernel-bug-exists-upstream ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1003297 Title: Networking and ACPI conflicts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1003297/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
