If you can bisect the kernel and point to a particular commit that causes the increased packet loss, that would be very helpful. I know of no changes to any of the Realtek drivers that would cause these kinds of problems.

Thanks Larry - I have some idea of bisecting software, but no idea in regards to the Tumbleweed. Where can I find the various commits/versions to test as part of the bisection?
If openSUSE has a git repository for its kernels, I am not aware of its location. Perhaps someone will come up with that information.
You could clone the mainline repository from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git. Every change included in 4.7.X will be in that code. I would use the 4.7.5 configuration to build kernel 4.8 that is in that repo and test it. If you still get the packet loss, then use the commands 'git bisect start drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/', 'git bisect bad', and 'git bisect good v4.6'. Change that last one to whatever version you think is good.
That bisection will have roughly 5 steps to finish and should not take too long, even with the full configuration used in distribution kernels.

I keep getting errors when trying to star the git bisect.
Here is what I get:
git clone git://kernel.opensuse.org/kernel.git -b stable Cloning into 'kernel'... remote: Counting objects: 6374859, done. remote: fatal: inflateInit: out of memory (no message) remote: aborting due to possible repository corruption on the remote side. fatal: early EOF fatal: index-pack failed
how can I get around this error, maybe a git option to not compress or some such thing?
Strange, I don't get that error. You can try https://github.com/openSUSE/kernel.git instead.

Thanks Matthias, github.com/openSUSE/kernel.git worked just fine - I am working on doing the bisect with it now. -- --Moby -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
