Hi,
I'm having mysterious wired network problem with my Karmic/9.10 machine. It hasn't been in network a while, but now I finally got the cabling done.
I can't get the IP from dhcp server (TW-EA510), and static settings doesn't work either. Fresh cabling showed OK 1Gb connection on tester, and win7 laptop works fine. I even tried with long cable though the rooms, but it doesn't help, so it definately isn't the new cabling.
Log from the router after issuing #"dhclient":

00:01:29:fb:c5:d1 is the MAC of the Ubuntu machine, so at least the request is getting to the router, but ACK never gets sent. In the ubuntu machine end it just says "No DHCPOFFERS received".
Motherboard is some old Lanparty with two ethernet ports, NVidia CK804 and Marvell 88E800 rev 13 Gigabit netwok adapters, neither of them works. At least another of them has been worked earlier when I last got it wired. It's been a while, so I'm not sure which one of them and with different router if that matters.
What might be the problem?
