[Bug 1064098] Re: Wired NIC doesn't allow internet connection over PXE

 

Xcad Lex, 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>

** Tags added: latest-bios-v1.30 needs-upstream-testing regression-

Title:
  14e4:1698 Wired NIC doesn't allow internet connection over PXE

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When booting a machine into Ubuntu via PXE as a LiveCD, the booted
  machine will not beable to ping google.com or any other domain.  It
  will be able to ping the IP addresses of local machines.  So I guess
  this is a DNS resolution problem?  Trying to fix the situation through
  the GUI isn't possible because it says "Wired Network:  Device Not
  Managed".  Things will work fine if you connect to a wireless network
  though (that's how I'm able to post this bug report).

  Here's the PXE menu line that I used for booting:

  LABEL Ubuntu LiveCD 12 32bit
    MENU DEFAULT
    KERNEL boot/ubuntu/ubuntu32/casper/vmlinuz
    APPEND root=/dev/nfs boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=192.168.0.11:/tftpboot/boot/ubuntu/ubuntu32 initrd=boot/ubuntu/ubuntu32/casper/initrd.lz quiet splash --

  IPAPPEND 3

  
  This bug is present on both 32 and 64bit versions.  It occurs across two systems that I have hear (and ancient desktop, and an this oldish laptop).  If that boot configuration pasted above is correct, then I would assume you'll find this bug VERY repoducable.  

  
  You can find a full tutorial on setting up a PXE server on a straight debian server here that I wrote, which includes at the bottom the procedure of adding Ubuntu booting to the PXE selection:

  The odd thing is that LinuxMint seems to boot fine with access to the
  wired port.
