Comment 36 for bug 573259

I have this bug too, but a bit different. Loaded 10.10 on Asus eeeBox EB1007. No wired LAN connection after boot. Wireless is OK. I can solve this by unplugging LAN cable just for a second and replug it back in. I can also get a connection by doing sudo ifconfig eth0 down, and then sudo ifconfig eth0 up. I tried 10.04 LiveCD, and 9.10. Same problem. Put XP on the EB1007 box. No problem connecting. Today, I installed 11.04 on the box. Same problem. Can you please help? ASUS cannot, even though they used to be a Linux advocate! I have their original eeePC running Atheros. I like this little EB1007, Again, could you please figure out a fix? It would be OK with a bash script to do the ifconfig routine, but have not been able to get it to work, for the command is owned by root. I tried sudoers, but no joy. Thanks, donde
