I am having this problem on BOTH freshly installed Ubuntu 8.04.1 AND a
freshly installed Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 5. (both installed form the
corresponding normal 32 bit live CD). So from my point of view this bug
is NOT fixed.
It even seems to get stranger on the Alpha 5 instead better.
I bought a new HP Pavilion dv7-1001eg 2 days ago and a fighting with this bug
since then.
What the 8.10 Alpha 5 tells me is very strange:
lspic looks good:
0a:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI
Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 02)
also lshw:
*-network

driverversion=2.3LK-NAPI duplex=half latency=0 link=no module=r8169

ifconfig says eth0 is up:

but I cannot ping anything.
now if I try this I get a strange answer
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop$ sudo ifup eth0
Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0.
and
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop$ dmesg /var/log | grep 816

is interesting there are 2 different names for the wired lan device:
r8168C and r8169 both differ from the names that lspci and lshw tell
which is r8168B.
another thing:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop$ lsmod | grep r816
r8169 35972 0
Now what piece of hardware do I really have?
why is ifconfig telling the eth0 is up when says /var/log link down?
why does ifup not know eth0?
Another point:
this

also seems to be a dublicate of this bug. Can someone check this?
