!! My Davicom (tulip) network card isn't working
There is [a recorded problem with the tulip driver|http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/48287] in the kernel shipped with Ubuntu 6.06.  The 'tulip' driver claims the card, but it should be assigned to the 'dmfe' driver.

This problem was fixed in the package for 2.6.15-24.40, and the latest kernel from dapper-security should no longer have this bug.

!Manual temporary fix:

<pre>
sudo -s -H
rmmod tulip
rmmod dmfe
modprobe dmfe
/etc/init.d/networking stop
/etc/init.d/networking start
</pre>

!Manual permanent fix:

Add <tt>dmfe</tt> to ''<tt>/etc/modules</tt>'' and add <tt>blacklist tulip</tt> to ''<tt>/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist</tt>'', such as by issuing the following commands:

<verbatim>
sudo sh -c 'echo dmfe >> /etc/modules'
sudo sh -c 'echo blacklist tulip >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist'
</verbatim>

!! Firefox Sound isn't working
Ubuntu [lists a bug|https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/29760] with flash and firefox, which causes firefox to crash when using the esd audio sink.  Ubuntu's fix is to disable sound.
You can use alsa instead:
<verbatim>
apt-get install alsa-oss
</verbatim>
Edit the file ''<tt>/etc/firefox/firefoxrc</tt>'' and replace the line
<verbatim>
FIREFOX_DSP="none"
</verbatim>
with
<verbatim>
FIREFOX_DSP="aoss"
</verbatim>
