Ok, I got a few things wrong with that last message... It looks like Lucid will be 2.6.32, so won't include the latest mainline tg3 patches that the bugzilla.kernel.org report claims fixes it.
The 2.6.33-rc1 package from the kernel-ppa link boots under karmic. It does still stop transmitting but now I never see the NETDEV tg3 timeout message (or anything else for that matter) and have to manually stop and start the interface. I can't find anything above 2.6.32 in the ubuntu git repos, so I suspect (i'm guessing) that they haven't gone this far yet and that the 2.6.33 packages in the kernel PPA are just builds of the vanilla kernel. Sorry to the kernel team for not totally following how this all goes under ubuntu. Is there some way the tg3 patches (or at least the supposed fix) in 2.6.33, might get backported to the Lucid 2.6.32 ubuntu kernel, for the sake of anyone with a tg3 device (a lot of HP laptops seem to use it)? -- tg3 transmit timeout in Intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/294092 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
