Well, it is over 02 years since the first time I found the trouble on Lucid installation (with Supermicro X8xxx board) and reported to both this site & even Ubuntu bugsquad mailing list. On Lucid the driver I use is 1.1.9 (the 1.2.x is not compatible with kernel, can not be compiled).
I have not update ubuntu kernel image for over 1.5 year. Install kernel, compile the driver again, rebuild initrd image (I forgot this once and the eth0 & eth1 failed completely) for every kernel update is time- consuming and it is not guaranteed that the system can be more stable than old kernel config. Today I decide to upgrade system to 12.0 LTS but it seems that I will need to continue holding it back. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1018561 Title: e1000e needs updating due to 82574L keeps dropping RX packets To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1018561/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
