Public bug reported: I have a newly installed motherboard which is a ASUS M5A88-V EVO. Ethernet is Realtek RTL8111/8168d PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller. The Ethernet connection is highly unstable ( Tested Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10). If you go to the Realtek site you can download the correct driver but found a problem r8168-8.026.00 is current script loading driver, it does not work (Notified Realtek support). Instead make sure your using r8168-8.025.00 script.
Realtek Site for drivers for board: http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downlo ... wn=false#2 Correct working Script is located at this address: http://r8168.googlecode.com/files/r8168 ... 00.tar.bz2 Basicly what is happening is Ubuntu releases are installing incorrect driver...It should be r8168 as per card but if you check your connection information you will see it is loading r8169 which is incorrect leading to the instability issues. kiko53s Level 1 Posts: 2 Joined: Fri Dec 11, 2009 12:19 am ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/896575 Title: ASUS M5A88-V EVO Ethernet instability To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/896575/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
