Title:
  JMicron JMC250 ethernet: networking always disconnected

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  What is expected in 14.04 is ethernet networking works when cable
  connected. What happens instead is it always shows "disconnected",
  even when cable connected.

  In Ubuntu 12.04, this same ethernet controller also exhibited the same
  problem. However it was fixable by downloading and manually compiling
  a new version of the jme drivers from here:
  ftp://driver.jmicron.com.tw/Ethernet/Linux/jmebp-1.0.8.5.tar.bz . In
  14.04, the above 1.0.8.5 driver no longer compiles and is thus not
  installable. I tried downloading and compiling the latest source for
  the driver from
  https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/net/ethernet/jme.c.
  This driver does compile, but after installation still doesn't work,
  with the wired network status always showing "disconnected".

  Output of dmesg | grep jme
  [    2.044151] jme: JMicron JMC2XX ethernet driver version 1.0.8
  [    2.044209] jme 0000:02:00.5: can't disable ASPM; OS doesn't have ASPM control

  WORKAROUND: The following terminal command provides 100 Mbps ethernet speed:
  sudo ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full
