[Bug 315947] Re: forcedeth NIC fails to operate

** Description changed:

  I just installed and dist-upgrade'ed Jaunty alpha-2 and discovered my
  on-board ethernet was not working.  With my previous OS (gutsy) it was
  using the forcedeth kernel module, and it is doing so now too.  I have
  tried my normal dhcp settings (via /etc/network/interfaces and
  NetworkManager) and setting it static (via /etc/network/interfaces).
  When set with dhcp, it never receives a dhcp offer and when set static
  it is not able to send or receive any packets through that connection.
  I took a spare usb 802.11g nic and plugged it in.  Within 20 seconds it
  was initialized and connected to my home wifi without problem.
  
  I am not a kernel/hardware/networking expert, but below are a few things
  I could thing of that could be helpful.
