I had this problem with the Ubuntu Hoary upgrade from Warty also. I've filed a bug report twice, but got no answers. I'm not looking for answers really, just best guesses or theory on why this is happening.
It's a standard thinkpad T20 (Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c556B CardBus Tornado (rev 20)), using the 3c59x module, worked absolutely great in Warty (and 3 versions of mandrake before that). I won't post dmesg nor any other error messages, because it didn't help when i actively pursued this problem before. so, here's what i've done.

Ubuntu Warty livecd and install -- works. (3c59x module loads and wired NIC is recognized) Gnoppix livecd (based on warty) kernel 2.6.7 -- works. Linux Rescue CD, using kernel 2.4-26 -- works. Simply Mepis LiveCD. using kernel 2.4.?? -- works Simply Mepis LiveCD, using kernel 2.6.10 option -- Does not work.
Ubuntu Breezy LiveCD and install Cd -- won't even recognize a Network interface at all during the install of Breezy or using the live CD. Installer asks me if i want to configure a firewire 1394 device for my networking. the Thinkpad T20 doesn't even have a firewire device.
Given all that, does anyone have any theory as to what's going on? Is it strictly a kernel problem, and if so why? it works with some 2.6 - based kernels (warty and gnoppix) but not others.
anyone? anything? i'm dying here.
