Ubuntu/Realtek work-around

I got both machines working this morning with this combination of events:

  1. Disconnect all network devices and delete all connection settings in the Network Manager applet.
  2. Turn off PC, disconnect power supply and wait for about 10 seconds to ensure that residual voltage on the motherboard is gone.
  3. Put a 10/100Mb/s hub between the affected PC and the giganet hub
  4. Reboot and choose "Auto eth" on the manager applet.
This isn't a permanent or elegant solution but it will get you up and running if you need to.
