[Bug 573259] Re: Ubuntu 10.04 makes RTL8111/8168B network card unusable until cold reboot

[yakrider]

Wanted to add another report. as of 10/26/2010

Brand new Dell XPS 9100 Realtek card.

Came with Windows 7. Internet was working, downloaded Maverick, burnt
CD.

Booted from CD, no ethernet, installed Maverick. no ethernet.

Rebooted, loaded fine, no ethernet.

Found another machine to troubleshoot. Cold booted after letting PC sit
for a minute. Ethernet now works.

Ethernet was working for several days (no reboots in this time).

Ubuntu suddenly freezes (mouse moves but screen completely
unresponsive). Attempted to kill/restart x server, no response. Had to
hard shutdown PC

Rebooted machine, no ethernet.

Shut down machine, waited with power plugged off for several minutes,
rebooted, no ethernet.

Repeat cold boot attempts several times, still no ethernet. !!

Current state : about to pull my hair out.

Please help with any suggestions !!
Thank you.
