A complication: when the Vostro gets an IP address it is unable to ping the router. Reloading the kernel module (e1000e) fixes the problem and allows network communications to begin.
Are there still problems with e1000e NICs? Could my problem have been caused by https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/263555 ? I did have Intrepid on the Vostro. ** Summary changed: - dhclient keeps timing out + DHCP and ping failure on e1000e -- DHCP and ping failure on e1000e https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/382671 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
