Network cards do not work on nForce 590-SLI

Same problem with Nforce 680i chipset under edgy 2.6.17-10-generic kernel

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description didn't include enough information.

Please include the following additional information, if you have not already done so (please pay attention to lspci's additional options), as required by the Ubuntu Kernel Team:
1. Please include the output of the command "uname -a" in your next response. It should be one, long line of text which includes the exact kernel version you're running, as well as the CPU architecture.
2. Please run the command "dmesg > dmesg.log" and attach the resulting file "dmesg.log" to this bug report.
3. Please run the command "lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log" and attach the resulting file "lspci-vvnn.log" to this bug report.

For your reference, the full description of procedures for kernel-related bug reports is available here: <http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelProblems> Thanks!

Change Status of Unconfirmed to Needs Info.

I'm sorry that this took me so long. However, here is the requested data. eth0 and eth1 are the onboard network cards. eth2 is a PCI card that I added to be able to access the internet. I also created the files eth0 eth1 and eth2 that contain the output of the "dhclient eth0 &> eth0" commands. I attached the network cable to the appropriate devices before doing that :D

Oops...

I just see that the description of the third dhclient command is wrong. It should be Output of "dhcleint eth2 &> eth2"

I don't know whether you need to know this...However the additional PCI Ethernet card is a 3Com 3c905 Boomerang card.

This version of Ubuntu (Edgy Eft) has reached end of life and is not supported anymore. So we are closing this report. If this is still, an issue can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

I am sorry that I didn't write this any sooner, but I could not find this page until the notification mail arrived.

I have switched to Debian a while ago but still had the same problem. I needed to compile a new kernel anyway; by trial and error I found the reason for my network card problems.

The driver does only work if Message Shared Interrupts (If this is the correct long form, I am not that sure about it anymore) are disabled. So if you boot the kernel with the option "pci=nomsi" everything works. I don't know why though.
