Public bug reported: When I boot linux-image-4.13.0-36-generic then I get an eth0 interface and dmesg output includes:
ssb: Core 0 found: Fast Ethernet (cc 0x806, rev 0x07, vendor 0x42 43) b44: Broadcom 44xx/47xx 10/100 PCI ethernet driver version 2.0 b44 ssb1:0 eth0: Broadcom 44xx/47xx 10/100 PCI ethernet driver 00 When I boot linux-image-4.15.0-10-generic those lines don't appear and I don't get an eth0 interface. Doing modprobe b44 doesn't help. This is on a Dell Inspiron 6400. I wonder if I'm running into this bug: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10185397/ I'm reporting it while running linux-image-4.13.0-36-generic because I also can't get wireless to work in 4.15, so I can't report from there.
