The bug is still present, I've just spent an afternoon trying to fix it (on Arch Linux, but it's the same bug in the driver).
A little HOWTO how to fix it here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1551149#p1551149 (with modprobe and mkinitcpio). Just for Googlers' reference. Hope it helps someone. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1003297 Title: 10de:03ef [ASRock N68-VS3 FX] Networking and ACPI conflicts Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: The Linux kernal seems to have an issue with my on-board networking adapter and the ACPI of my computer. The boot log provides this bit of information: [ 12.236250] ACPI: resource nForce2_smbus [io 0x0700-0x073f] conflicts with ACPI region SM00 [io 0x700-0x73f] On doing some research this seems to be a very old and somewhat common bug that no one has ever done anything about. This bug results in two things: My on-board networking doesn't work, and trying to restart or shutdown the computer freezes the system. With the previous 12.04 kernel, 3.2.0-23.36, there were two workarounds. 1) Boot into rescue mode, drop to the terminal, run "rmmod forcedeth" then "modprobe forcedeth msi=0 msix=0" then resume a normal boot. This enabled both networking and regular ACPI functions. or 2) Add "forcedeth msi=0 msix=0" to /etc/modules If you booted normally without following either of the above steps and then tried to modprobe, it wouldn't work. If you tried to rmmod the module, the system would instantly freeze. With the new kernel update, 3.2.0-24.38, the above method number 1 still works, but number 2 no longer works as a workaround. It simply doesn't do anything. The replacement work around for the new kernel is you must add the line "exec rmmod forcedeth" directly underneath the beginning of the script section in the file /etc/init/module-init-tools.conf, then you must add "modprobe forcedeth msi=0 msix=0" to /etc/rc.local. This new method doesn't work with the old kernel, and the old method doesn't work with the new kernel. I fear unless this long-standing bug is fixed once and for all so such hoops don't have to be jumped through, at one point the kernel may receive some update to where no method will be able to get this to work at all. For the record, none of the various GRUB tweaks, such as acpi=off or acpi=force, did anything.
