Public bug reported: After installing Ubuntu and Kubuntu alpha 5, my Intel Pro/1000 82566MM in a Lenovo X61s is rendered non-functional. The e1000e module (and e1000 on older kernels) fails to load on all distributions I've tried, reporting a checksum error. The symptoms resemble a known and fixed issue with the e1000 driver on Thinkpads, where awaking from a deep power state causes the firmware's report of the MAC address to be corrupted. However, none of the fixes for that problem work in this case (removing and reloading module, or loading with media plugged in)
It appears the firmware is now corrupt. However, when loading the e1000 module in older kernels, the connection functions fine when ordered to ignore the eeprom checksum. See this thread for more information, and currently one other corroboration of the issue on a similar chipset. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5752347#post5752347 ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Ibex alpha 5 renders Pro/1000 ethernet non functional https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/267952 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
