I want to back up what "BongoMan" said above, in relation to the Marvell
Yukon 88E8001 causing problems. Ever since I started using Ubuntu (I
started at Gutsy Gibbon 7.10, currently on Hardy) I have had kernel
panics (a complete system lockup / crash / freeze and blinking Caps lock
and Scroll lock lights) whenever I ran torrent programmes like Azureus
or Transmission and less often when I ran Firefox 2 or 3 and YouTube.
Throughout that time I used the Marvell Yukon 88E8001 LAN adapter. The
torrent programmes would run for 10 minutes to 2 hours and then kernel
panic, Transmission was occasionally better than Azureus at staying
stable for longer but eventually the system would panic. Like I say also
watching videos on YouTube was a common source of crashes and
occasionally just normal browsing - i.e. internet activity.
Yesterday I remembered I had a second LAN port on my PC (an nVidia CK804
Gigabit adapter) and I decided to change over to it to see if things
would improve and by gum they did. I have been able to run torrent
(Azureus) straight for almost two days now without a hiccup.
Unfortunately I can't say I am having the same problems in relation to
picking up DHCP request or connection drops. My 88E8001 has never
dropped once or failed to fulfill a DHCP request (i.e. receive a DHCP
I.P.). Here is my hardware:
- ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe Motherboard
- Marvell Yukon 88E8001 Gigabit LAN adapter (onboard)
- nVidia CK804 Gigabit LAN adapter (onboard)
- nForce4 chipset
- AMD Athlon 3700+ San Diego
- 1GB Corsair XMS4400 DDR RAM
- nVidia 7800GTX PCI-E graphics card
