Hmm, that does not sound nice. Was it with exactly the Realtek chip I've asked for? Is there a Debian bug about it? Was it on one machine, or did you see it on more machines?

I want free & open software 2. I like security updates over apt 3. It's possible that with a new kernel the network driver is gone (I do everything remote).
