########################################## Networking Solution for nVIDIA MCP55 Ethernet - Ubuntu 8.10 Interpid ##########################################
Step 1, open a terminal. a) become superuser $ sudo su b) remove forcedeth kernel module (it's the ethernet's driver) # rmmod forcedeth c) load forcedeth kernel module again with new parameters # modprobe forcedeth msi=0 msix=0 d) restart networking # /etc/init.d/networking restart You should be able to connect to your network now. Step 2, configure the system to do this automatically from now on when it starts (otherwise you'll need to do the above steps every time you boot). Open a terminal and become root with $ sudo su a) go to /etc/modprobe.d/ # cd /etc/modprobe.d/ b) edit the options file # gedit options c) go to end of file and add the following lines (without the quotes) "#nVIDIA Corporation MCP55 Ethernet" "options forcedeth msi=0 msix=0" d) save the changes and close gedit e) you'll need to rebuild your boot image, in the same terminal type: # update-initramfs -u Reboot and you're done. Hope this helps. ** Summary changed: - Ethernet (nVidia MCP55) not working [ gutsy, hardy] + Ethernet (nVidia MCP55) not working [ gutsy, hardy, interpid ] -- Ethernet (nVidia MCP55) not working [ gutsy, hardy, interpid ] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/136836 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
