Bug Description

If I start my computer without the ethernet cable plugged in, network-manager will not detect eth0 when I do plug it in. I've tried to ifdown eth0, then ifup it again, and it tells me that there were no DHCP offers.

When I start it with it plugged in, however, it finds it fine. I have all the newest updates. Everything worked fine in edgy.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description doesn't yet have 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 'sudo 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 at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies . Thanks in advance!

I knew I would need more information, I just wasn't sure exactly what. Thanks for the quick response.

Note: this information is from when the ethernet was plugged in at start up. If necessary, I'll attach the same responses from when it was not.

Here's the lspci -vvnn output, also when the ethernet was attached at startup.
