Public bug reported:
I've just upgraded one of my machines by installing a new 64bit
motherboard, CPU & RAM. I therefore took the opportunity to install the
64bit version of Hardy. The motherboard in question is an Asrock
AliveDual-eSATA2 which features a Realtek RTL8111B/RTL8111C on board LAN
controller.
However I am simply unable to get even basic networking going under
Hardy. This is with an installed 64 bit version, a 64 bit live CD or a
32 bit Live CD.
Additionally I have just spent 5 hours systematically working through
all the network troubleshooters I can find but sadly nothing I do seems
to work - even manually setting a static IP address, netmask & gateway
etc. doesn't help.
However if I boot from either a Feisty CD, a Gutsy CD or a Knoppix 5.1
CD everything works fine. Following this I also reinstalled Gutsy 32bit
and this worked fine so I know my hardware is working.
After this I used update manager to upgrade Gutsy to Hardy (kernel
2-6-24-17) after which networking is once again broken. Logic dictates
that the problem is therefore with either Hardy or kernel 2-6-24-17.
Please advise as to any diagnostic reports I can produce which would be
of help in diagnosing the problem.
Cheers.
