I also have this problem with 10.10, kernel 2.6.35-22-34. Brand-new motherboard is ASUS P7P55D- E PRO with Realtek "8112L" Ethernet chip. (Realtek website doesn't know about 8112 - I think it's actually the RTL8111.)

Ethernet works fine under WinXP, but when I boot into Ubuntu the ethernet is no longer working. What's worse, it kills ethernet when I boot back into Windows. Turning ethernet OFFin the bios, booting into Windows, restarting, turning ethernet back ON in the bios, rebooting into Windows *sometimes* gets it working again in Windows (others have reported turning PC for a time fixes the problem). I've never had it working in Ubuntu.

There seem to be a lot of related "Linux/Ubuntu killed my ethernet" threads over the last year or so...this seems to be fairly common. I almost started to RMA my MB!
