Impossible to have a internet connection with Hardy...

I found that this was a bug with the beta and still exists now. I did this quick fix and it worked!

"I've had exactly the same problem, however just found the solution:
In the Gusty Tribe 5 live installer, open a terminal:

$ sudo su
# rmmod forcedeth
# modprobe forcedeth msi=0 msix=0
# /etc/init.d/networking restart

Your network interfaces should come back up and actually work now "

[rhyinem]

BTW

To set this as a startup type script thingy...

Run gedit or kwrite as root and open /etc/rc.local
Atl+F2 -> gksu gedit /etc/rc.local on ubuntu
Run -> kdesu kwrite /etc/rc.local on kubuntu

Paste the lines between the comment lines and exit0.
rmmod forcedeth
modprobe forcedeth msi=0 msix=0
/etc/init.d/networking restart

Cheers!

**thanks rhyinem for the answer and hessiess for asking before i did**

stick a sudo in front of each of those lines when adjusting your /etc/rc.local though
so it is in fact

gksu gedit /etc/rc.local

(and in the middle of the file in between the lines starting with # but you do not start yours with an #, because rc.local ignores lines starting with an #)

sudo rmmod forcedeth
sudo modprobe forcedeth msi=0 msix=0
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

without the sudo's in place it still requires something like
sudo bash /etc/rc.local

Hello all, I'm a huge Ubuntu newbie so bear with me.

I tried the above advice and it didn't work for me - I'm sure I was doing something wrong, lol. What I did was bring up a Terminal window from within Ubuntu (v 8.04) and then I entered all of the above information . . . but unfortunately nothing happened.

Some tips and tricks would be appreciated.
