I'm having the same problem with two machines, a selfmade pc and a dell vostro
1510 notebook both having following ethernet controller:
Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. 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.
