It will be interesting to see if your problems go away without even a need for that patch.
I spent some more time doing productive work with the updated driver (as at 11 Aug 2012) and the problems did not come back to me. As the dropouts were quite frequent before I would like to conclude that the problem is solved and this ticket can be closed.
In order to close this bug entry it would be great if we could actually narrow down exactly which of the 11 commits to r8169 between v3.4 and v3.5 fixed the issue you experienced. This way we can include just this bug fix in 12.2 instead of blindly putting in everything. I went over the commits and identified the most likely candidate, namely: 7dbb491 r8169: avoid NAPI scheduling delay. Would you mind running another test? I've updated the kmp one more time. It now contains only this single patch over the 3.4 driver. It's the one in the OBS project for this bug: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/benjamin_poirier:/bnc774557/... I think you'll have to remove the other repository and package as all the packages have the same name.
Personal note: I am a user of SuSE distros since version 6. I was quite dissatisfied with more and more problems that I encountered in the latest versions 11 and 12 and had it not been for the efforts to learn to deal with a new distro I already had switched to Ubuntu or whatever. Then I stumbled on the self-reflection of the openSUSE team on quality and that more testing was needed. And I decided to give it a try and start reporting all the things that annoyed me before the final release gets out. It was good to see with what professionalism issues were handled here and that encouraged me to report more issues in order to contribute to keep openSUSE my favorite distro.
Thank you, I'll pass on this feedback to others working on openSUSE. -- 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.
