I haven't tried Hardy or Intrepid because I switched to Gentoo on that box. (Ubuntu on the desktop, but I wanted a totally stripped system for my compute machine.)
Anyhow, here's what lspci tells me: 0a:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 01) This is my system information: Linux compute0 2.6.26-gentoo #1 SMP Fri Jul 18 20:58:53 EDT 2008 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9450 @ 2.66GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux I'm sure Intrepid has a slightly newer kernel. Does Ubuntu use the FOSS driver or does it use a binary one from Realtek? I may consider switching to Ubuntu server if it can solve my problem. (I should probably also file a bug report with Gentoo.) -- RTL8111/8168B hangs whole PC (r8169) in feisty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/91895 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
