Title:
  LAN and USB ports affected with 64bit OS only.

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Built a new rig to run a 64bit Bodhi Linux install.  The new machine
  has a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 (rev 3.0) mobo, FX4100 proc, Live 64bit
  Bodhi CD and noticed that I could not get to the internet.  Spent a
  while determining that the network and my ISP were in working order.
  Rebooted the machine with 12.04 Ubuntu (64bit) live dvd and same
  thing.  Tried several other distros until I found an Xubuntu version
  that worked.  However, after working with it for a while, I found that
  it was a 32bit version not a 64 bit.  So I tested this with several
  32bit vs. 64bit.  It appears that I cannot get LAN ports or most of
  the 2.0 ports and none of the 3.0 USB ports with a 64bit install of
  every distro that I tried (about 7 different distros, including Fedora
  and OpenSUSE).  With a 32bit version, everything works great.  All
  ports are available and the LAN works flawlessly.

  All distros recognize all the equipment and controllers the same.  The
  Realtek 8169 driver is used in both 32bit and 64bit kernels.  I am
  stumped as to why 64bit runs differently (and incorrectly) on my 64bit
  system but the 32bit system works perfectly.
