I updated my driver like suggested by Jabba56 in comment #11 and voila it's fixed.
The strange thing in my situation was that I was able to connect using 1000mbit connection but not on a 100mbit connection. Will say before the update an ethernet cable on a 1000mbit networks has worked and the same cable on a 100mbit didn't. After the driver update this bug was fixed. -- 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/880316 Title: Ubuntu installer can't setup network on Shuttle XS35GTV2 Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a Shuttle XS35GTV2. The installer can't set up the network connection. I've tried Ubuntu 10.04 32 and 64 bit netinstall, minimal and server, Ubuntu 11.10 32 bit netinstall. The Debian Squeeze 64 bit netinstall installer has no problem. (I've now installed openELEC which has no problems too) I was able to install Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit server but only without network connection. I then could load the jme module: # modprobe jme # depmod -a without errors. But I can't get eth0 running. The output of lspci is: 02:00.5 Ethernet controller: JMicron Technology Corp.
