    Ringtail not working with Intel NIC

    Hi Guys,

    as posted previously, I'm having issues getting a network connection with ringtail on a hard wired nic on my laptop.

    I decided to try and sort this out today so, as the laptop is an upgrade from 12.10 I decided to boot a 13.04 CD and run from that to see if it would work. It didn't.

    The same test on a 12.10 CD however did work.

    On 13.04, mii-tool eth0 shows, SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth0' failed: No such device
    lspci shows 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection (rev 04)

    I'm guessing its something to do with a driver not getting loaded but lsmod really didn't tell me much.

    Where to from here?

    Ta

    OK, seems this is an issue with the kernel and this nic.

    To get it working for the moment it seems I can just echo on | sudo tee /sys/class/net/eth0/device/power/control

    which is a fine work around for the moment until its fixed.

    Peter.
