I have updated my intrepid install with the latest updates. To test, I had Windows up and restarted with kernel 2.7.27.2 and the interface worked fine, they restarted with each older kernel down to 2.6.26.4 and the interface worked fine. Then I shutdown and booted with Windows and restarted with 2.6.26.4 and it failed to start the interface. Then I restarted with each of the four kernels through 2.6.27.2 and it failed on each of them. So I still depend on Windows to get the interface "primed" before running Ubuntu no matter which kernel I use. Incidentally, on 2.6.26.5 and 2.6.27.1 the very first two messages that appear on the screen after Grub is finished say something to the effect that my device is not an 8139C and then to try to use the 8239too instead.
