Re: [ilugd] Strange issue with network card on Ubuntu 8.04
Mani, On Sat, Dec 20, 2008 at 4:14 AM, Mani A It could be flacky hardware or the r8169 is not quite the correct driver for the NIC. His hardware is NOT OK. I have the same NIC, it works perfectly on that driver in all Linux and Kubuntu. Checked lspci -vvv too. I am reasonably sure that the hardware is OK. Even with r8169 driver my network works OK. Only issue I have noticed is large number of dropped packets in RX and after some reboots the device does not work. When I have installed and enabled r8168 driver from RTL website even the dropped packet issue is no longer there. Now the issue is r8169 gets loaded at boot time even if I added # Replaced with r8168 --Dinesh Shah blacklist r8169 in file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist Any and all pointers/hints are appreciated.

Re: [ilugd] Phantom Downloads
hii parijat stop using your wi-fi router and try normal broadband modem .. Check if Problem Persists or not On Sat, Dec 20, 2008 at 7:38 AM, Parijat Garg parijatg...@gmail.com wrote: Hi All, I have an airtel broadband connection. When I was looking through my monthly bill today, I found that there were large downloads (100s of MBs) in my logs; often starting at exactly the same time everyday for many days at a stretch. I am sure I did not generate that traffic. To ensure that my bandwidth was not being stolen through my wifi, I changed the key on my wifi router. I also disabled all virtual servers etc on my router to prevent incoming traffic. However, when I look at usage statistics on the router itself, even when nothing else is running, there is a continuous transmission of about 32 packets every few seconds. I cannot understand why this should be the case. I have an 8 GB download limit and even though I haven't been pushed beyond that yet, I am afraid I might be soon. Anyone face a similar problem? Parijat P.S. - Googling suggested that some people do. But couldn't find a solution. ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/ ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

Through what steps did you enable the driver? Now the issue is r8169 gets loaded at boot time even if I added # Replaced with r8168 --Dinesh Shah blacklist r8169 in file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist I had the same problem with the r8101 driver; inspite of blacklisting the r8169 would get loaded and bound to eth0. Luckily, in openSUSE 11.1RC1, in Yast2 there is an option of binding a specific driver to an interface. I was able to bind r8101 to eth0. I have not had the chance to see which files are touched by Yast2 for this change. Check to see if your distro has a similar config utility. -- Arun Khan ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
