What happens on the box I just built using an old Realtek 8139 card I had lying around is that the 8139too driver will load. But, after using the network for a while, the whole computer will hang.
I finally figured out to swap the Realtek 8139 card out for a Linksys and my computer is running flawlessly. That does leave the posibility that my problem is a bad NIC and not some issue with the driver. I haven't tried the NIC under another operating system. I was able to reproduce the problem in a simple test case here by simply downloading a 700 MB iso image. It would consistently hang within an hour with the Realtek, it always worked fine with the Linksys. -- Regression: RealTek 8139 hard-locks system on installation/modprobe (affects Averatec, Philips laptops) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/90271 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
