    Network Card Dissappears on reboot

    Hello,

    I am having an issue with my 10.4 LTS installation in which my network card disappears on reboot and requires me to reinstall it. It has been this way since I first installed the system.

    (By reinstalling, I basically:

    make install the driver
    sudo rmmod -f e1000e
    sudo modprobe e1000e
    sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

    and all is good ... until the next reboot.)

    Any advice on stopping the issue is appreciated. Let me know if you need any additional information.

    Please try this:
    Code:
    sudo su
    echo e1000e >> /etc/modules
    exit
    Now does it work on boot?

    Re: Network Card Dissappears on reboot

    Chalk it up to not having to reboot Linux often I suppose...

    When I tested it two weeks ago, everything was fine, I had to reboot the machine today and the driver disappeared again.

    Of course after reinstalling it was fine, and then a 2nd reboot to test didn't remove the driver... so I'm at a loss.

    I'll reboot a bit more often and see if it occurs again unless anyone has any ideas.
