The rig: D945GCLF board Intel Atom @ 1.6GHZ w/HT It looks like it's a linux kernel bug: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/982159 The ethernet controller is: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8101E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev ff) does not seem to work in any of the Ubuntu versions. Fix: recompile the kernel with patch You can download my patched packages here (currently uploading, let me know if something is missing): http://mirakulo.com/pub/linux-image-2.6.24-21-patched/ NOTE: I got the .udeb packages because of this warning: dpkg-gencontrol: warning: deb package with udeb specific field Kernel-Version or you can do the following steps if you don't trust me: apt-get source linux-source-2.6.24 apt-get build-dep linux-source-2.6.24 aptitude install install devscripts build-essential fakeroot cd linux-2.6.24/ Get this patch: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=17604&action=view patch -p 1 < patch-r8169.patch debuild -us -uc -b
