Hi, im running Ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386 on a Dell OptiPlex GX620. When i was installing the Broadcom - NetXtreme BCM5751 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express was working fine but after the reboot the nic says no link detected.
Warm boot or cold boot make no difference, only some times (lets say one in the ten times, in 8.10 it was one on ten that fails, but always it was working after a warm boot) the nic is working. When the nic fails it will always work after unloading the nic's driver module with the command "sudo rmmod tg3" and loading the nic's driver module again with the command "insmod /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/drivers/net/tg3.ko" the nic starts working fine. So it looks to me if there is a timing problem at startup when booting the machine. Any tips ?, it's a strange problem. ** Attachment added: "lshw output" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/26308324/hardware.txt -- Broadcom BCM5722 (tg3) acts weird on reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231667 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
