I had the same problem after updating my ubuntu server (8.04) to the newest. Then the problems started. It took me several months to find this posting. I use samba on my server (software raid) and can confirm that the latest river from realtek works. It unloads the one in the kernel (size 84022) and replaces it with a newer one (size 203096) after compilation. I have not yet rebooted since my raid is being rebuild because of another crash due to this faulty nic driver.
It is about time Ubuntu puts this driver in the distributions... new driver is out: http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false#2 (2011-8-25) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/746914 Title: MSI 785GT with Realtek RTL8111/8168B locks up only with heavy gigabit traffic -and- heavy PCI load (10.10 at least) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/746914/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
