Well, in a big way, you were absolutelly right. Effectively, with the change
of kernel 4.1 → 4.8, or to be more precise,
# uname -a
Linux user 4.8.12-gnu #1 SMP Fri Dec 2 16:56:47 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64
GNU/Linux
, the network card started to work again. (I'm unable to put in words the
level of happiness that moment give to me, and there's an equal level of
thankfulness from me to you. :) ) Thanks for the patience and persistance.
Now, new issues have arisen:
1) The network manager is a lot slower than before, like if it were doing a
lot of stuff any time it tries (and finally achieve) to connect. But that's
not important, I'm just mentioning it as a symptom for the sake of
description.
2) When I connect to my other machine via sshfs, the connection goes without
issues. But the speed of transmission is absolutely ludicrous. A 1GB file
takes like an hour to get copied from one disk (in this machine) to another
(in the other pc). This is specially relevant because I need to make a backup
of the info in this laptop, and I don't have a removable disk to move
hundreds of GBs. So, I really need the LAN to work normally. What can I do to
help you people have an idea for diagnostic this issue?
3) The resources monitor in the bottom panel shows correctly the CPU work,
but fails completelly in show the RAM in use. Any clue on that?
4) Is there a way to be sure to receive the updates for this version of the
libre-kernel?
I'll paste down the current situation. Thanks *a lot* (really)! Let me know
about any info I can give to better understand this issues, specially number
2, that's the really essential.
