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

There have been a few kernel upgrades since then, so i assumed it's fixed.

(I have already submitted information via Kubuntu device database; Submission Id: 47f10a94b24e91a660a54f0bf6d0ddf2). I use Kubuntu Gutsy Tribe 5 and made updates recommended by adept notfier. Current kernel version on my system is 2.6.22-11-generic. I have Athlon x2 4000+ with MSI K9AG Neo2-Digital motherboard. The motherboard has integrated Gigabit Realtek 8111B controller; however, my network switch supports only 100Mbps. When computer boots, module r8169 is loaded, but the adapter is not functioning (pinging gateway gives "network is unreachable" message). I had to download and compile r8168-8.003.00.tar.bz2 from realtek.com.tw . Driver r8168 works for my controller, but I could not get rid of r8169, which loads after each reboot and gets in the way. When I do manually unload r8169 and load r8168.ko and restart the network service, then only LAN comes up. To summarize the problems: 1) Gutsy Gibbon alpha includes a driver (r8169.ko) which does not actually support the hardware (RTL8111B) it detects as supportable. 2) Gutsy Gibbon alpha does not include r8168.ko driver which DOES support that hardware. 3) The two drivers conflict with each other: when r8169 is loaded before r8168 , the network controller is not operative. -- Yuri Baranov -- r8169 driver does not work with Realtek "PCI-E" 8111B integrated network controller https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/141343 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
