As far as I know both ethernet ports should use the same driver. I would guess if 10.04 has one port working but not the other, there must be some driver/kernel parameter which must be set. I have not upgraded yet but eventually I will have to. Unfortunately, I do not have time to research this right now. I have not tried other drivers.

One of the Ethernet ports is working, but the other won't. My main issue is getting Avahi to work properly. I think I've traced the problem to the fact that Avahi needs the LAN driver to properly handle multi-cast. From what I can see, Hardy Heron is using the r8169 driver; have you tried any others? I found the following post https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/linux/+bug/562742 but haven't had a chance to try alternatives. Just looking to see if anyone else has figured out the LAN drivers. I too seem to have LAN problems; I have tried installing 10.04 server, 9.04 and eventually had to settle on 8.04.

I've been playing around with "powertop" on my eeePC. It has a very cool feature where it reads the power wattage your laptop is consuming from the battery at any given time. However, I can't put this feature to work on my Compal IFL 90. Can any of you make it work? It's in Ubuntu's repositories for anyone who wants to try it. Thank you in advance. Hi everyone!

Worked a treat even though I've never had to hack a python script before. Many thanks for the script. Just ran across this: Need to convert to Keepass so I can use jbiKeePass on iPhone.

When I first started visiting web sites I was excited by the potential of the internet as a resource and was very disappointed initially.

Disabling AHCI didn't fix the prob. I found a solution here: http://jaba.mbnet.fi/clocksourcejiffies-ja-ubuntu-910-hidastumiset-pois Now karmic x64 runs without any freezes. As a positive side effect, hibernation and standby also works fine now (x64). After installing karmic, I was facing occasional freezes as described in a post from 080605.
