Bug#375995: linux-image-2.6.17-1-686: ethernet stops working (rtl8139)
Package: linux-image-2.6.17-1-686
Version: 2.6.17-1
Severity: important
The ethernet interface on my Acer Travelmate 223X stops working
directly or shortly after boot. This is very similar to #358744, but
now I also get more interesting log messages, see below.
After that, network connectivity is lost and I cannot restore it
except by rebooting. I have replaced the switch that my laptop was
connected to, with the same results.
The network interface is a builtin Realtek 8139. My wireless cardbus
card still works correctly though.
