Update: I should have run more tests before I speak myself. Installing the latest Atheros driver (1.0.1.13) did not solve the problem. With this driver my network adapter would not even negotiate the media type successfully. This is the output of tail -f /var/log/syslog after enabling the atl1e module.

I had to "modprobe atl1e media_type=4" to make it work. I was connecting my computer to my router, a LiveBox Mini from Orange (Thomson I think). Connecting it to an AVM Fritz!Box resulted in successful 100Mbps media type negotiation even with the original driver that comes with Lucid Lynx (atl1c 1.0.0.1-NAPI). -- Atheros AR81xx ( atl1c.ko ) drivers causes hangs while writing with NFS protocol https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/512764 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
