This became a problem for me on one system (of three) I upgraded to Hardy. The 'options forcedeth msi=0 msix=0' fix seems to be working on Hardy. Never had an issue that I am aware of on Gutsy involving forcedeth.
I seem to be able to reproduce a loss of network (using synaptic, for example) without the fix in place. Is there some debugger I can run on this, or is this bug adequately documented already?
