I have the same problem on a Gigabyte EP35-DS3 and also an ASUS P5QL-EM motherboard with integrated RTL8111/8168B NIC. I found something interesting on this page: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=260439#c8
"FYI, this bug has been around for a long time now. I've seen the same thing happening as far back as 2.6.15, on mips based platforms. I don't have the hardware now, but I remember that link autoneg failed randomly on r8169 and always on the first boot. I couldn't find any fix for it, and it was generally accepted to be a h/w bug in RTL8169. Gregor, is it possible to use ethtool on the affected system? If this is the same bug, forcing any mode with ethtool (100M Full/ 10M Half etc) should fail at first, showinf 10M Half mode, and then automagically the link comes up and there's no problem till next boot. This used to work every time on mips, for reasons unknown." ** Bug watch added: Gentoo Bugzilla #260439 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=260439 -- Realtek RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller Unstable on Jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/347711 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
