RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 01) On both machines I was running openSuSE 10.3 and r8169 driver worked without problems. After updating to 11.0 with latest kernel 2.6.25.11-0.1-default I get destination host unreachable. dmesg output is like above: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out r8169: eth0: link up and so on assinging an adress over dhcp times out, when i assign an adress manually using ifconfig, I'm able to ping myself but no other machines in the network. ifconfig reports very much packet drops: RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:84181340820 overrund:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:414 overrund:0 frame:0 It seems that the driver drops every packet A workaround which worked for me: Booted, set MTU in YaST to 1492, then rebooted and set MTU back to 1500, then I got an ip adress over dhcp and was able to communicat without problems. Once I reboot now, I'm not able to use network anymore. In the kernel bugtracker I read a post of 03/2008, a workaround was to set pci=nomsi to the bootline, but it didn't work for me. It was also written that the bug would be fixed in 2.5.25 release candidate, but it looks like another bug. I went back to 10.3, networking is now no problem. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
