eth0 refusing the link up after update (sky2)

[okt]

I recently updated and rebooted the machine to see that eth0 (wired adapter) is refusing the link up. I get no status lights on the laptop or the router. The cable works just fine linking up my other box the the router.

ifconfig eth0

Not sure what step to take, I've tried to disable and re-enable the adapter via the BIOS-setup, when it was disabled it certainly didn't show up via ifconfig.

Wireless is working just fine, I'm just in need of getting the wired port up because I route a bunch of traffic down the wired for media streaming.

Fixed with

sudo modrobe -r sky2; sleep 2; sudo modprobe sky2
