Matt Price, as per http://download.lenovo.com/express/ddfm.html an update is available for your BIOS (1.45). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything?
If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-1.45 ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1052873 Title: network-manager tries to connect to eth0 when cable is unplugged -- Intel 82577LM e1000e Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Even when the cable is unplugged, n-m tries for quite a while to connect to Auto eth0. As my wireless connection is unreliable, this makes for a confusing wait while the wireless signal is negotiated. This has just started happening since the upgrade to quantal.
