Comment 22 for bug 135316

I bought an inspiron 1525 with Vista. I installed Ubuntu 7.10 from a livecd. Cannot get an ip from the ethernet card.

From the hardy livecd there was no problem. I installed a debian unstable kernel 2.6.24 and I got an ip without problems

Then i downloaded the ubuntu-dell-1525n-intelvideo-reinstall.iso from dell, because people at dell advised me so.

My ethernet card at home was ok. I made an dist-upgrade. But i did not check if after the dist-upgrade the ethernet got an ip.

Now at work (i have no wireless at work) again i cannot get an ip (i have a proxy). It is a problem of the ethernet card, not the cable.

I don't know if this is going to be fixed. But it is frustrating.
