Re: System lock-ups or software resets, with increased ethernet activity

There's been a bit more activity on the kernel list:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32962

It sounds like compiling r8168 from Realtek is an alternative, I may try this as there's already a package in the AUR. Though obviously it would be preferable if r8169 were fixed.

Re: System lock-ups or software resets, with increased ethernet activity

Upgraded from .35 to .38 last night and encountered this exact problem this morning (system rebooted), I encountered a system freeze back when I first tried a .38 a couple of weeks back. Really hoping this get's fixed soon (looks like it judging by the bugzilla report), meanwhile it's back to .35.

Re: System lock-ups or software resets, with increased ethernet activity

Anyone tried linux new kernel 3.0rc1 to see if it's fixed? I'm also faced with reboots, Asus P8P67 board.

Re: System lock-ups or software resets, with increased ethernet activity

I would be interested in that aswell, I haven't tried .39 yet either so if that fixes this problem it would be awesome.

Re: System lock-ups or software resets, with increased ethernet activity

Hi guys,

I am having the exact same issue with same driver r8169 with kernel 3.0.0-13-generic

It actually only started for me as of this kernel, and it only happens when I bring my network card close to a max throughput (1Gb), as soon as I start backing up to my desktop over the network, I start getting net_ratelimit errors and my eth0 link up errors repeat a lot and shortly after a full freezup.

Not sure if compiling a new network driver module might do it or not, have not done much troubleshooting yet other than a quick google search which brought me here smile
