Find out the kernel module that supports it ('lspci -v -s 02:00.0 | grep
-i kernel' or similar should do it), then rmmod and modprobe it.
If all else fails, check your logs to be sure your kernel module is
loading the correct binary blob (from the firmware-realtek package).
I only have firmware-linux-free and both NIC use the same kernel driver
yoda [rramesh] 313 > sudo lspci -v -s 02:00.0 | fgrep -i kernel
Kernel driver in use: r8169
Kernel modules: r8169
yoda [rramesh] 314 > sudo lspci -v -s 03:00.0 | fgrep -i kernel
Kernel driver in use: r8169
Kernel modules: r8169
I like to only work on the broken NIC and not touch the other, if
possible. However, if the other solution (from Dan) does not work, I
will try this one. If not, there is always warm or cold reboot since
this issue happens only after a week or two.
