I see. Should I assume therefore that a permanent fix *might* get into the kernel someday, but that there is no timeframe and no guarantee? I should mention that while I currently have access to hardware to test for the problem, this may not be the case in a few months time since the hardware (the computer and network devices) is slated for deployment. Thank you for helping me to understand what the situation is regarding intentions for mainline. > IIRC the ga311 irq signaling was a bit special. I almost surely broke > it at some point. While we have seen the current issue on GA311 cards (and this is what is currently in our test setup), it's also been observed with other r8169-based cards (a D-Link from memory). Regards jonathan
