I have this same problem only if i start my laptop (V6j) without network cable. At this point that rmmod/modprobe even doesnt work.
Only fix what i have found is just restart my laptop with network cable connected. After this cable unplug/plug works fine. $ uname -a Linux andromeda 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP Thu Jun 7 20:19:32 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux -- r8169 driver does not detect link https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/86798 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
