   Weird One?

   Hello All,   
      
   Although not technically a BBBS issue. Here is a weird one. I was installing   
   Ubuntu on a 64bit Intel PC before I was to move BBBS over. The other Ubuntu PC   
   wasn't quite fast enough for my liking. But I could not get Ubuntu to use    
   integrated Realtek NIC. It could see it and the correct drivers were   
   installed. Ubuntu acted as if the cable wasn't plugged in. Even though it was.   
   Now the weird part. If I unplugged the USB keyboard and mouse the NIC worked   
   fine. As I see it it wasn't really a Ubuntu issue even though the prior OS   
   (Windows 8.1) didn't have any problem with the setup. Reinstalled the USB   
   drivers and now  Ubuntu is happy and connected.
