I appreciate your workaround Stefan, and it worked for me for a few days, however today it doesn't, /etc/fmodprobe.d/orcedeth is still there with the options line and I tried rebuilding the initramfs again but no go.
The only thing that's changed in the interim is I installed turboprint (surprise surprise as my canon mp800 printer isn't supported) I don't know how that could have changed things but I can't think of anything else. I wanted to get ubuntu working and switch to it but the fact that you need to be a computer geek to use it (and I'm obviously not geek enough with 10 years of programming experience and I don't have any more weeks of my life I'm prepared to waste on it) and the fact that this bug is not considered important enough to be dealt with in an update, means it's back to windows for me. This network card was (and still is as far as I know) the standard one for mesh computers in the uk and they supply a large number of pc's. Still there we go. Sorry if I sound like a moany old git, I'm just disappointed. -- Ethernet (nVidia MCP55) not working [ gutsy, hardy] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/136836 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
