Note the differences in DHCP requests and responses, all on the same
device:

And it also seems to be on the same network, although a slightly
different connection. Please review your connections to make sure the
settings are all how they should be, and that your network is indeed
giving out the IP you really are expecting when the connection doesn't
work. Everything else related to the BIOS is probably coincidental, and
if not, it's a kernel issue.

Title:
  Network Manager unable to connect after anything changes in BIOS

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When I change the 1st boot device in BIOS, this always happens. Then I
  need to enable LAN boot (which is useless for me otherwise) and it
  starts working again. But today it didn't, so I just created a new
  wired connection in Network Manager and whoala, I had internet again.
  Which means that the problem is not in BIOS, as I had thought. By "no
  connection" I mean that I receive an IP address, but no data comes
  through.

  I have an EeePC 1000H with the original BIOS (came with WinXP)
