With a vanilla 2.6.28-rc5 kernel on a amilo l1310g laptop with ATI ixp SB400 chipset and Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX (rev 02) I have the same problem.
The nic would just stop working completely under heavy load, but after adding the kernel option "irqpoll" it now just resets the connection every once in a while as reported here by others. . . b44: eth0: powering down PHY b44: eth0: Link is down. b44: eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex. b44: eth0: Flow control is off for TX and off for RX. b44: eth0: powering down PHY . . On a standard intrepid 2.6.27 kernel network seems fine, but the audio sometimes breaks up (stutters) after a while until a reboot. So there seems to be some interrupt conflict? -- Unreliable network connection with B44 driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/279102 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
