    13.04 gives me this:
    sudo lshw -C network
    *-network DISABLED
    description: Ethernet interface
    product: RTL8111/8168 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller
    vendor: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

    12.04 this:
    lshw -C network
    WARNING: you should run this program as super-user.
    *-network
    description: Ethernet interface
    product: RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller
    vendor: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

    8168 vs. 8168B...any significance here?

    The output shows that the driver isn't loaded. I don't have that chipset, so I'm not sure what driver you need.

    Weird (to me anyway)...works fine with 12.04 and not with 13.04....cannot remember if I tried 12.10 on this machine. I did get the same 13.04 result with 3.8 and 3.9...

    Maybe it will sort out as time goes by but then again maybe not.

    If you still have a working 12.04 installation, you can check it to see what driver the network card uses.

    I confirm that RTL811/8168 works perfectly with 13.04, it was instantly recognized when I installed.

    From my 12.04 output...complete output on the previous page:

    That's the driver I thought you needed, you can try loading that driver using the following command:

    Code:
    sudo modprobe r8169
    with a bit of luck, networking should start working right away, if not use the following command:

    Code:
    sudo service networking restart
    If that doesn't work, just reboot.

    No cigar...if I modprobe and then restart networking it locks up....if I modprobe and then reboot it's no change (no wired Ethernet). I'd be willing to say I had a hardware problem if it was not for the fact that it runs 12.04 fine...maybe I should download another daily and reinstall and hope....

    Have you checked to see if the module (driver) exists in /lib/modules/3.8.0-19-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek. You should see the following in that directory:

    Code:
    ls -l
    total 224
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root  43208 Apr 17 11:48 8139cp.ko
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root  52632 Apr 17 11:48 8139too.ko
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root  22228 Apr 17 11:42 atp.ko
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 103356 Apr 17 11:42 r8169.ko

    edit: I went through all the steps with the 3.8 kernel...same result.
