Man I just dont have a clue why would this MCP78S nVidia chipset cause such a problem in ubuntu 9.04. All works well, sound, graphics GF 8200M, ath0 wireless, only ethernet eth0 does not and cannot connect to another machine or internet anyway, it is there when you type ifconfig but it doesnt work somehow

if someone has a clue please advise....

Same problem here with a desktop: Asus M4N78 Pro motherboard, MPC78S, Ubuntu 9.04 32b.

This is nVidia's networking controller and the problem about this chip set is across the internet and also on launchpad but no one is offering a solution. Man, sometimes I really cant' believe some things. So simple, and yet so complicated.

Any of you having lockups with USB mice on your motherboard? I've got the M4N78 too and it runs fine on Jaunty, I moved some updates over from my laptop with the same install and using Keryx (http://keryxproject.org) and got the ethernet working with those. Now my USB locks up randomly and requires a hard reboot to get working again constantly.
