Hello. The hardware involved:
Motherboard: Asus P5B lspci: 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 01) First the non-working scenario (2.6.21.5, 2.6.22rc6 unpatched): During the use of network connections, we experience "network transfer stops" during which a transfer seems to stall completely for many seconds, after which the transfer runs as if nothing happened. This is reproducable everytime w. svn co http://svnserver/svn/tree (hangs VERY LONG) Now with all patches under http://www.fr.zoreil.com/linux/kernel/2.6.x/2.6.22-rc3/r8169-20070527/ and the single patch http://www.fr.zoreil.com/people/francois/misc/20070619-2.6.22-rc5-r8169-test.patch the problem is gone. Without the single patch, the problem persists. Is there any possibility to get this fix working in 2.6.21.5? Would it be possible to apply the single patch to 2.6.21.5 and get a working driver? Or would it be possible to create the fixing patch for the driver in 2.6.21.5?
