@Andrew Chambers Awesome. Actually, the latest driver release is just a few weeks old. These drivers might not have worked prior to that in 10.10, but I haven't investigated.
@khaldan Before Gentoo I was using Ubuntu 10.04 on this system also and did not see the issue there. I guess I have been switching OSs a lot lately. Anyway, if it's loading the buggy driver again I can think of two things that might cause it: 1. Loading a new kernel, or running an update. 2. You have the module saved in your initramfs image. You can probably check for the second scenario with something like: $ cat /boot/initrd.img-$(uname -r) | zcat | cpio --list 2>/dev/null | grep r8168 If the module is listed, and you have already installed the driver from the Realtek website, maybe the following command will help you (for the next time you boot): $ sudo update-initramfs -k all -c Agreed - I should have called it a work-around and not a fix. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/661294 Title: System lock-up when receiving large files over a Realtek NIC (big data amount) from NFS server -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
