** Summary changed:
- Ethernet card r8169 not working
+ Ethernet card r8169 occasionally not working
** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic
+ linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic
I have installed Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 on a Dell laptop (Vostro 1310) with a
Realtek RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller.
When I boot the system the ethernet card does not work most of the time.
I have to boot 3 or 4 times before I get it working, by chance.
The lspci line for the eth0 card is:
07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 02)
+
+ When the card is not working, the following is shown in dmesg:
+
+ [ 48.955905] r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.2LK loaded
+ [ 48.957588] r8169: probe of 0000:07:00.0 failed with error -22
+
+ On a working boot this looks like:
+
+ [ 22.501241] r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.2LK loaded
+ [ 22.502075] eth0: RTL8168c/8111c at 0xf8866000, 00:1c:23:56:05:55, XID
3c2000c0 IRQ 218
With the kernel 2.4.24-18 the card never worked. I updated the kernel to
2.4.24-19 downloading it to an usb key and the card started working, but
only sometimes.
Furthermore, when the card does not work, if I unload and then reload
the r8169 module I get this message on the system log:
eth0: no IPv6 routers present
ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:07:00.0 disabled
r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.2LK loaded
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:07:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
PCI: cache line size of 32 is not supported by device 0000:07:00.0
ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:07:00.0 disabled
r8169: probe of 0000:07:00.0 failed with error -22
During these unlucky boots I can't see any "eth0 link up" or "eth0 link
down" message.
I attach the full lscpi -v output, lsmod output, dmesg output of a non-
working boot and dmesg output of a working boot.
