Public bug reported: Using Edgy Server RC, I am unable to download any file larger than a certain size (I have not worked it down to a specific yet) using an RTL8169 NIC. This problem first manifested itself by apt-get update failing on all packages in the "edgy" groups with bzip2 crc errors. After a while, I realized that it was all on packages lists which were large, but it worked fine on the 14 byte dummy ones in edgy-updates/etc.
After some thinking, I decided to try downloading some random gzip and bzipped files from the internet (specifically the gallery php application). Any large file would fail with crc errors. gzipped/tarred files (again, specifically the gallery app) would extract the first few files then fail. Notes: -Not reproducable with 6.06LTS -Not reproducable with current Knopmyth livecd -Not reproducable using the same system with 6.10 server but using a different chipset 100mbit NIC -No change in symptoms using a 100mbit hub vs 1000mbit hub (sync light shows correct physical data rate in both cases) machine details: -dual p3 550 -intel BX based motherboard ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- RTL8169 NIC data corruption with Edgy server RC https://launchpad.net/bugs/68145 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
