Total Networking Failure after upgrade to 12.04LTS

[Nathan Mace]

Good point, no one has mentioned a negotiation failure troubleshooting step.  That might be worth checking out.  I hadn't even thought of that....Nathan

Back in the olden days, he might have an IRQ issue as well. He might want to look in his bios to see just what is what. If both of those NICS are on the Mobo, he might have a bios setting to enable or disable one or both. I'd disable one, just to reduce the overhead issues. If they are addon's, I'd physically remove one. Then there is less confusion for the OS to deal with. And, yes. Re-install using the live version from the CD. For whatever reason, using the straight installer has a very high network detection failure rate. Ric


These are integrated into the MB. The irq thing is worth checking.

And, on the other distro issue, we have standardized on Ubuntu, so I don't see changing that. 


I did run across something interesting via google where someone with the same Nic had a network failure after an upgrade, and the ultimate cause was a auto-negotiation issue and downgrading to 100mbs worked.
