[Devil-Linux-discuss] r8169 hangs link up DL 1.6.9

[Pekka K. <Pek...@ja...>]

Hi,

I been having consistent crashes on LAN part (2-3 a day ) or firewall which only reboot helps.
DL 1.6.9

Symtons are following, /var/log/messages:

Nov 17 09:46:47 Paahtimo2 kernel: r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: link up
Nov 17 09:46:47 Paahtimo2 kernel: r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: link up
Nov 17 09:46:47 Paahtimo2 kernel: r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth1: link up

Then LAN crashes (I am still able to login from Internet).
My LAN is Gigabit

I found this old thread:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/821454

and it looks very similar to my symptons.
Has any of you experienced similar hangups?

In 1.6.9:

I will try to upgrade to 1.8.0 where version 2.3LK-NAPI is the same but srcversion looks different.
Here is from 1.8.0
