Posted on April 17th, 2008 by linux
This is a know issue in Ubuntu Linux ( gutsy , hardy ) with nVidia MCP55 Ethernet card. This card uses forecedeth module. forecedeth module is loaded, network card seem to be up and running however it can not ping outside the box. Here is a quick fix for this problem, as a root or sudo run commands:
echo options forcedeth msi=0 msix=0 >> /etc/modprobe.d/options
update-initramfs -u
Now you can safely reboot.
