Hello, last week my ISP (Arcor in Germany) finally gave me ADSL2+ with 16mbit down an 800k up. Since that day I suffer from frequent and irregular disconnects (40 in less than a week). Since it is the first time my privider offers ADSL2+ I assume this is more an error on the prividers side, but I want to make sure its not my fault.
My router is 3.8 (see dmesg below). I enabled debugging and get this in /var/log/messages.

After the disconnect an new connection is esablied immedialtly. The disconnects happen independent of the load on the line (I can not force a disconnect by downloading and uploading at full speed). Do you think, I should try another NIC? Its Realtek 8139 now. Thanks for any hints.
