I've been seeing the same problem with my main test desktop and the 3.8 kernels.

But as of this morning I can't get the interface to come up in my desktop machine without using Francois's hack (thanks for that, BTW). 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82567LM-2 Gigabit Network Connection -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1112652 Title: [raring] no ethernet with "auto" default power option with 82579LM To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/1112652/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
