Laptop WIRED Network doesn't work, wireless does ...

Hello all,

I installed 11.3rc1 for a quick look on my Latitude 6410 Notebook and was very pleased that everything worked right out of the box, like sound, WiFi and so on. I also clearly remember downloading some update during the install process via a wired ethernet connection.

Today I booted up again to find that wired ethernet is not working. I started the network odule of yast, switched to “traditional ifup method”. It shows me two interfaces: “82577LM Gigabit Network Connection” and “Intel WLAN Adapter”.

Clicking on the 82577 this message is shown at the bottom:

Unable to configure the network card because the kernel device (eth0, wlan0) is not present. This is mostly caused by missing firmware (for wlan devices). See dmesg output for details.

Well, this is the output of dmesg: nopaste.info - free nopaste script and service
lsmod: nopaste.info - free nopaste script and service
and lspci: nopaste.info - free nopaste script and service

I didn’t alter anything network-related after isntallation, the only thing i did was blacklisting the nouveau module and installing the nvidia driver, which works marvellous.

I hate to say this, but I must confess that I tried Ubuntu 10.04 also, and there it works.

Any ideas?
Philipp
