I have the same notebook and reported to the Ubuntu bug tracker (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1182868) solution for me is to add the PCI vendor/product IDs to the tg3 driver there seems to be a fix in the upstream kernel, see http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/276813/ already hope the Ubuntu folk act on this regards, p. -- Peter Meerwald +43-664-2444418 (mobile)
