I have been experiencing great pain and anguish since upgrading the hardware of my DL-based server. Please can I request for the next release (final or testing) of DL: - if possible, add the r8168 network driver (available direct from Realtek at http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false), because the r8169 driver which is in the present release (and the kernel) has intermittent problems with Realtek RTL8168B-based chipsets - see http://unixblogger.wordpress.com/2011/10/18/the-pain-of-an-realtek-rtl8111rtl8168-ethernet-card/ - and/or upgrade the kernel beyond 3.5.1 (which may also fix some problems with r8169 when used with RTL8111/8168B- see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=839992) - on an unrelated note, while it would be great to have the latest samba v3 release (3.6.16 at present) please don't switch to samba v4, as this will not work with my setup (security=share is dropped in v4) Thanks for your help!
