I think I may have found a possible workaround.

The stock drivers on 14.04 don't work out of the box for *gigabit
ethernet*.  If you're connecting to a gigabit router, then open a
terminal and run:

$> sudo ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full

If you don't have ethtool installed, install with:

$> sudo apt-get install ethtool

Once you run that command, your link should be detected immediately.
The catch is that you'll be running at 100Mbps, not gigabit.

I think what happened was that there was some kind of kernel networking
API change between 12.04 and 14.04.  Whatever changed broke this
driver's ability to deal with gigabit connections.  It's a bummer that
this doesn't work out-of-the-box and that it's been ignored for so long,
but at least we have a crappy workaround.

Title:
  Ubuntu installer can't setup network on Shuttle XS35GTV2

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a Shuttle XS35GTV2.

  The installer can't set up the network connection.
  I've tried Ubuntu 10.04 32 and 64 bit netinstall, minimal and server, Ubuntu 11.10 32 bit netinstall.
  The Debian Squeeze 64 bit netinstall installer has no problem.
  (I've now installed openELEC which has no problems too)

  I was able to install Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit server but only without network connection. I then could load the jme module:
  # modprobe jme
  # depmod -a
  without errors.

  But I can't get eth0 running.

  I've posted my problem at the Ubuntu users mailing list:
  http://www.linux-archive.org/ubuntu-user/588603-jme-module-missing-netboot-installation.html

  Edit: Unfortunately I couldn't reassign it as it has nothing to do
  with gnome-nettools (see post #1).
