[Bug 1098298] Re: NetworkManager fails to detect link status change -- Intel 82577LM e1000e

 

Alexander List, could you please confirm this issue exists with the
latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If the issue remains,
could you please run the following command in the development release
from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will
automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this
report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc3

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, please comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it and add the following tags:
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 1161655
   Wired and wireless networking don't work after upgrade

** Tags added: needs-kernel-logs needs-upstream-testing

Title:
  NetworkManager fails to detect link status change -- Intel 82577LM
  e1000e

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:

  1.) Start Ubuntu, with LAN plugged in, login
  2.) Verify NetworkManager detects the Wired Connection
  3.) stop NetworkManager
  4.) unplug LAN cable
  5.) start NetworkManager
  Result: NetworkManager doesn't detect that eth0 is not in the RUNNING state

  Plugging in LAN cable doesn't change state either, i.e. eth0 remains
  unconfigured.
