[Bug 58292] Re: SiS 900 networking broken

[Wiz of Id]

** Description changed:

  Ubuntu 5.10, Kernel 2.6.10, SiS 900 NIC works fine.
  
  Ubuntu 6.06, Kernel 2.6.15, SiS 900 NIC can't get a single packet from
  the DHCP server. The wireless usb dongle can.
  
  Ubuntu 6.06, Kernel 2.6.15 recompiled leaving out of my system the unwanted integrated iptables, SiS 900 NIC works fine.
  But I have to recompile the kernel (and several third-party modules) every time I need to update it.
  
  Obviously, the settings of iptable are something similar to "please
  enter, you are all welcome". But I still need to recompile.

+ ------------------------
+ EDIT 2006/09/02
+ 
+ The problem seems to be somehow related to X.
+ Booting the system in recovery mode with the stock kernel, doesn't affect the networking.
+ However, if I then launch 'startx', the networking is broken again.
+ 
+ That is:
+ 
+ Stock kernel + X = BAD
+ Stock kernel - X = GOOD
+ Recompiled kernel removing integrated iptables = GOOD 
+ 
+ Hardware:
+ Asus A2D laptop, Ati Mobility Radeon 9600 (fglrx ubuntu 6.06 drivers), Sis 900 NIC
