Troublesome r8169 driver .. (Fixed)
Posted: Wed Jul 29, 2009 6:41 pm
I installed ubuntu server 9.04 on my fit-pc2. When i try to copy a large amount of data (more then say 500 mb) to a samba share on my fit-pc2 the fit-pc2 network drops the connection (always).
After a couple of minutes it comes back up ??
I tried the following:
- I did try the watchdog solution of merbanan but my network keeps dropping.
- I installed the latest kernel version...no go
- I compiled the latest realtek driver (r8168) and blacklisted the old one..no go.
Anyone another idea ? I hope. This was not the experience i was looking for buying the fit-pc2
