Comment 46 for bug 223656

I'm seeing this issue with a clean install of 8.04.1 i386 Server Edition on an Intel "Little Falls" D945GCLF motherboard. The built in NIC (eth0) does not work at any time including when powered up from cold. Kernel is "2.6.24-19-server".

"dmesg" and "lspci -vvnn" output attached.

Wierdly, the NIC worked whilst in the installation process!

I've plugged a Kingston KNE100TX NIC into the PCI slot as my temporary workaround for the moment.

Typical state:

$ ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1c:c0:46:41:65
          inet6 addr: fe80::21c:c0ff:fe46:4165/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:4294967291 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:46 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
          Interrupt:220 Base address:0x6000

No cable is plugged in yet it thinks the interface is up!

Has the fix not made it into the Server Edition yet?

cheers
