Ethernet link down


Suddenly my ethernet stopped working in Ubuntu, it still works in Windows however. At some point in the boot screen the system prints "Waiting for network configuration", then after some time "Waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration", a bit later it boots. Also there is this entry in dmesg:

Code:
    r8169 0000:04:00.0: eth0: link down
r8169 is my nic driver I guess.

Aparently the nic is not even receiving data, because its leds are not blinking. The eth0 interface is up, but I can't get an ip for it using dhclient. I don't think this is a physical problem, because, as I said, it works in Windows, so the cables/nic/router should be working fine.

It may be you need r8168 driver. What's the PCI ID of your NIC?
