Comment 19 for bug 313866

Hwy guys,

I have the acer ao1 and this bug affected my network mod, I get no wifi or cable lan.
My suggestion is, after I noticed the bug and confirmed it is the kernel I just modified my boot list to log to the .9 kernel instead, everything is working until the bug its fixed.

Subject: [Bug 313866] Re: Ethernet fails with 2.6.27-11

I have a Dell Inspiron 1501 (Broadcom NIC) and I've experienced the same
problem. I'm going to re-installed 8.10 and update everything except the
last kernal update until the bug has been fixed. The only problem is I
do not remember exactly what the update was titled. I do remember it
referring to the kernal and quite possibly 'kernal header', so if
someone knows exactly please let me know.

Bug description:
Ethernet module appears not to load using 2.6.27-11. Several users report similar at http://start.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1017057

2.6.27-10 works as expected on Ubuntu 8.10.

Wireless connection is not affected.

The problem seems hardware related. Acer Aspire One fails, while Dell 6400 works. Occasionally, when booting to Kernel 2.6.27-11 eth1 will appear in Network Manager and connect. (Hardinfo confirms the module is loaded in this circumstance.)
