Hi Jonathan, Thanks for being on the case!
I am currently trying the patch at http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1222924. I downloaded the patch from http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1222924 as r8169-patch, and then did the following: sudo aptitude install build-essential devscripts fakeroot libdw-dev libperl-dev python-dev libnewt-dev sudo aptitude build-dep linux-2.6 wget 'http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/linux-2.6_2.6.39.orig.tar.gz' wget 'http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/linux-2.6_2.6.39-3~bpo60+1.diff.gz' tar xzf linux-2.6_2.6.39.orig.tar.gz mv linux-2.6-2.6.39 linux-2.6-2.6.39-inglorion1 cd linux-2.6-2.6.39-inglorion1 gunzip < '../linux-2.6_2.6.39-3~bpo60+1.diff.gz' | patch -p1 patch -p5 < ../../../r8169-patch # The patch applied cleanly make localmodconfig # This asked for EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT23. I accepted the default selection of Y # Make sure that .config contains CONFIG_R8169=m # If you run localmodconfig while r8169 is not loaded (e.g. because you are using r8168), # then localmodconfig will cause r8169 to NOT be built. cd drivers/net cd ../.. make -j 5 deb-pkg sudo dpkg -i ../linux-image-2.6.39_2.6.39-2_amd64.deb sudo reboot I will run with this for a while and see if I can get the NIC to lock up (it is currently working). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
