Now, I'm beginning to clarify things. Andy's patch works as commented by G. Guimaraes and PrSdNt. In fact I was bitten by two bugs: this one and another (new one?) related to autonegotiating phase.
With some peer switches autonegotiation fails (doesn't complete). When I forced my peer switch to 100Mb/s all went well. So it seems there is a bug related to sis190 autonegotiation code not beeing robust enough. With other NIC cards same peer switch works well. So please, apply this patch to standard ubuntu kernels Regards Francesc Oller -- network card/driver (sis190) doesn't notice when cable is unplugged https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/381196 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
