Wow. Just wow. This bug has been open for nearly 2 years, and 100 comments later the bug report is closed because one guy recently claimed to experience the same problem with an Intel card instead of a Realtek - who should have just opened a separate bug report. This bug has *always* been about specific Realtek chipsets, so opening up other bug reports would be pointless.
I myself have previously experienced this same issue on 3 different computers (all different motherboards) all with the same Realtek hardware. I did not mention the other two because one is now critical work machine I cannot readily test since they are now in production with the driver from the Realtek website, and the other I don't have any more. It's unbelievable that Canonical Q/A have been unable to reproduce. You even have some specific motherboard models with the problem mentioned. > Someone needs to make sure that it does not break when the rest of the kernel > changes It was already broken. It doesn't get much worse than a complete system lock-up. As previously mentioned, I don't even run Ubuntu any more. I don't get paid from Canonical. Here I was going to spend my time over the weekend to try and help you guys out, but now I don't think I'll bother. -- 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: 10ec:8168 System lock-up when receiving large files over a Realtek NIC (big data amount) from NFS server To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/661294/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
