Bug#474456: ethernet broken on a epox 8hda series motherboard from 2.6.23 onwards
Package: linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64
Version: 2.6.24-5
Severity: important
With 2.6.23 and 2.6.24 the onboard ethernet on my brothers desktop PC no
longer works. The system announces the link is up then soon afterwards
announces a timeout then announces it is up again and the process
repeats endlessly.
The network situation is bad enough that the system is unable to pick up
it's IP by DHCP, I don't know if any packets are getting out at all but
I suspect not.
The machine is connected to a 10 megabit hub
LSPCI has the following to say about the controller

The motherboard manual claims it is an epox 8HDA series board, I haven't
taken the lid off to find out exactly which model.
With 2.6.22 the network works fine
