r8169 is also broken for me. I have a Realtek PCI-E 8111C, integrated into a Gigabyte GA-EP43-DS3L. The bug, for me, has manifested itself differently, and more subtly.
My problems are: 1) I have intermittent trouble acquiring an IP via DHCP in Hardy, 2) Networking is completely broken in Fedora 9, and 3) Avahi service discovery doesn't work, except locally, although other computers can see my published Avahi services. Jameson's patch & install script for the Realtek-supplied driver (http://www.jamesonwilliams.com/hardy-r8168.html) works great for me. Installing r8168 solves at least #1 and #3 above. Bug #141343 seems to related to this. -- r8169 Driver not stable with Realtek 8111C https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/205374 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
