Public bug reported: I greatfuly recognized that Ubuntu Jaunty has support vor Realteks RTL8102 Chipset, found in many Netbooks based on MSI's U100.
unfourtunley the Driver is in an unofficial - internal - Beta Stage. (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/246141) One Issue that really troubles me is lacking support for Unicast. This renders everything thats based on MDNS useless. Like: Gnome-Networkshare, Vino, Hotssh, Rythmbox Musicsharing, Avahi-Tools, and so on.... Symthoms: 1.) You can ping an other Network.Computer and you also can make use of his services (like webdav), but avahi-discover, can not find them. 2.) Other Computers can not find you with avahi-discover, but can make use of you services if they know your IP and TCP-Port. 3.) Broadcast ping -b 255.255.255.255 does not work for me, but im not sure about this. I don't know if anything like a Realtek-Bugtracker exists, to report the Bug to Realtek. So i belive that it is a good idea to have a Bugreport in Launchpad, so that other Users with this Issue have some Information on it. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- RTL8187SE driver lacks Multicast Support https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/360926 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
