I've just found this bug and I'd like to comment that Gigabit Ethernet seems to work fine here. I'm running a fresh 64bit ubuntu 8.10 (installed on 2008-11-18), fully updated on a brand new T400. The output of uname is:
$ uname -a Linux lcpybm 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Tue Nov 4 19:33:06 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux Because the Gigabit Ethernet card found in the T400 needs the e1000e module, I fear the issue reported here has something to do with this module e1000e being blacklisted due to the EEPROM bug #263555. -- Ubuntu 8.10 beta installation failed to detect wire internet connection on T400 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/288791 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
