I can confirm the same or similar problem. On my IBM ThinkPad A21M I use an Airlink 101 USB to ethernet adaptor. the device has always worked from Dapper to Edgy to Gutsy, and even following a Hardy Beta upgrade on this and other machines. However, yesterday I decided to do a fresh Hardy Beta install on the machine (for testing) and the device is no longer working. Not during the install, nor following. Hence no ethernet connection at all.
I have configured (using the network manager) for a static IP, and for DHCP - no difference. Messages log shows the device as up: eth0: register 'asix' at usb-0000:00:07.2.1, ASIX AX88772 USB 2.0 Ethernet, 00:50:5b:04:aa:23 usbcore: registered new interface driver asix [snip] eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1 However: ifconfig shows no IP (even when fixed IP is assigned). sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart makes no difference, nor does sudo ifconfig eth0 up, ifconfig lo up/down etc. The device is working just fine - I can remove and use it without problems on the other laptop which is a Gutsy to Hardy Beta upgrade. Unfortunately, I cannot provide much more information at this point as the machine has no ethernet, so I'm having to hand type info from messages log etc. I *can* put in an old Netgear PCMCIA ethernet card and it is recognized instantly and gets a DHCP address. So I can get a network connect that way if necessary. But I'm reluctant to use that for samba to get the logs and updates just yet as I'd like to first find out why the Airlink 101 was not recognized at install and continues to not be recognized. Note: the Airlink 101 is *not* a wireless device, see http://www.airlink101.com/products/asohousb.html for details. Again, this is a test laptop, so I can leave it in it's present state for awhile - advise on what you'd like me to check and I'll be happy to do it. -- [hardy] Ethernet port of USB replicator no longer working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/183124 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
