Just trying to get my ethernet connection to work in Oneiric, and when I plug the cable in it connects and disconnects forever. /var/syslog says this (repeats it over and over again):

correct me if im wrong but it looks like you are trying to use a shared connection. There is a bug in oneiric regarding this. Please look at a different answer for a workaround and the link to the bug. Wired Connection shared with other computers connects then disconnects in the nm-applet The workaround is to set IPv6 to ignore when you edit the connection and then do sudo killall dnsmasq

Same thing happens when I try to serve ad hoc wireless Internet sharing on Ubuntu11.10 sudo killall dnsmasq has helped finally.

Diagnose the driver by clicking the LAN icon, open Network Sharing, click on Local Area Connections, Diagnose.

It fixed for me. This will reset the LAN adapter, so it will function normally.
