Thanks to Gary, and a bit of googling IOMMU issues, it appears this is common on Gigabyte M/B's and if a BIOS update doesn't work (none available in my case) then try appending iommu=soft to the kernel options in grub. Using this option I have USB 3.0 and Network using the stock amd64 kernel. HTH Wackojacko -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

realtek r8189 driver problem on 64 bit kernel
I have recently updated my motherboard which has resulted in me having an updated realtek r8168 chip (rev 6 instead of rev 3), unfortunately the new chip fails to get a connection via dhcp, and setting a static address results in 100% packet loss. I am currently running sid amd64 and have tried various things including downloading the latest driver from Realtek, experimental kernel and numerous live CD's. What I discovered by chance was that the NIC worked when using debian 32 bit distribution (confirmed with debian live cd) which is now installed to keep me on the go :). Interestingly it works whether the firmware is installed or not on 32 bit. I have compared the output of dmesg, lspci, lshw, ethtool from both distributions and the only difference I found relating to the driver was r8169 :03:00.0: can't disable ASPM; OS doesn't have ASPM control and a different address and IRQ for the NIC. so I tried booting with pcie_aspm=off (it was disabled anyway) and the warning disappeared but the NIC still didn't work. This is the adapter on a Gigabyte 970a-dsp3 motherboard 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 06) and dmesg shows on amd64 r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI loaded r8169 :03:00.0: can't disable ASPM; OS doesn't have ASPM control r8169 :03:00.0: irq 72 for MSI/MSI-X r8169 :03:00.0 eth0: RTL8168evl/8111evl at 0xc9616000, (MAC ADDRESS), XID 0c900880 IRQ 72 r8169 :03:00.0 eth0: jumbo features [frames: 9200 bytes, tx checksumming: ko] r8169 :03:00.0: firmware: agent loaded rtl_nic/rtl8168e-3.fw into memory on 32bit r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI loaded r8169 :03:00.0: irq 73 for MSI/MSI-X r8169 :03:00.0 eth0: RTL8168evl/8111evl at 0xf8274000,(MAC ADDRESS), XID 0c900880 IRQ 73 r8169 :03:00.0 eth0: jumbo features [frames: 9200 bytes, tx checksumming: ko] r8169 :03:00.0: firmware: agent loaded rtl_nic/rtl8168e-3.fw into memory As you can see the driver loads and eth0 comes up but no ip address from the router.
