It is a well known phenomenom for ages that the ubuntu/debian/etc sis190 drivers fail to probe link status and generally suck the MANDRIVA and supposedly mint drivers(althought I haven't tested them) DO WORK. Ubuntu could you please do a quick ctrl+c /usr/src/mandriva-linux-2.6 .current-32bit/modules/net/sis190.c and port it over to x86 too please. As I don't like using an x32 system just because of an ethernet driver.
Seriously it's taking way too long for you guys to fix this....ez just ctrl+c ctrl+v from mandriva source for x32 then patch over to amd64 to help you find the sis190.c source here are instructions if you need them(seems like it, given this takes so damn long to fix): goto mandriva.com download spring linux edition install su root urpmi kernel-source (select a version) cp /usr/src/the kernel source/drivers/net/sis190.c -> Ubuntu souce thanks... could you tell the people at debian they need to fix theirs as well. -- network card/driver (sis190) doesn't notice when cable is unplugged https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/381196 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
