Bug#706499: Ethernet with Realtek R8169 only working with IPV6
Package: firmware-realtek
Version: 0.36+wheezy.1
Severity: normal
Hello,
please refer to this bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=611954
and
http://serverfault.com/questions/384165/after-installing-debian-squeeze-ethernet-does-not-come-up
The card only works when you do a manually ifup eth0 with IPV4.
But not every time - sometimes it is simply dead for IPV4.
Here what you see when it comes up:
