This appears to finally be fixed in 9.04. I tested it on the RC and then let the machine update (through ethernet). After reboots and power-downs, it is still working on one of the test platforms. -- r8169 Driver not stable with Realtek 8111C https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/205374 You received

The Intrepid release does not fix this problem. It remains broken despite bug reports going back over a year. It's a Linux kernel problem and won't be fixed until they fix it in Linux. Most likely something broken with the PCI-express driver. Dean -Original Message- From: boun...@canoni

No, it is NOT fixed. I have tested with my two motherboards (listed in the history of this bug) and it is still broken. I am able to DHCP but even simple pings on my internal network stop working after about 5 tries. Dean -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTE

Leann, I do NOT believe this has been fixed. I downloaded the 8.10 live session CD and booted from it. I have exactly the same problem. On *some* boots, I can get an I.P. address assigned through DHCP. Some times it will fail to DHCP. In either case, pings to my internal network result in 1

Kevin, I saw you message, but it does not good that Realtek released the driver. Their previous driver worked fine with the current version of Ubuntu. The problem is that if you patch the kernel with Realtek's new driver, your patch will only work until the next Ubuntu update. At that point, it w

No, it is not fixed. I have two NICs installed in my PC. One is the integrated Realtek 8111C, and the other is a plug-in PCI card with a Realtek 8169. The 8.04RC version does not work with the onboard 8111C NIC. It finds that there is a NIC and identifies it as RTL8111/8168B PCI express Gigabit

I think the problem is that we haven't brought it to the attention of the right people. This is a linux (and FreeBSD, by the way) kernel problem. I don't know (I'm a newbie) but suspect that linux and FreeBSD kernel guys have to fix this, and it will then push out to all the distributions subsequ

Hi, Leann! Thanks for the reply. I don't know if there have been any attempts to fix this in the mainline kernel. I have seen reports of this by people using several different Linux distributions (FreeBSD, too!) for close to a year, now. I am a newbie, so I don't really know the way to pu
