My internet connection falls and only returns when I restart the computer.
Hello everyone!
I Installed Debian 4.0 (Etch) on my notebook Toshiba Satellite A105 S2091 a couple of weeks ago and I've been facing this extremely annoying problem since then: my internet connection falls, for absolutely any apparent reason, and only returns after completely restarting the system. Nothing else works! I've already tried the internet service from somewhere else, restarting my modem, unplugging and replugging the wires, the GNOME applications, the `ifdown eth0' and `ifup eth0' commands on a shell and several combinations of these.
After discussing this on the Brasilian users list, someone pointed out the possibility of a problem with the driver for my card. The output of `lspci' gives me, among several other lines,
`
02:07.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)
'
what, I guess, indicates that Debian can see my card. After Googling a little bit I got to
http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/showproduct.php?product=482, where I learned that this card uses module `8139too'. But it seems like it is already loaded, as indicated the output output of `lsmod':

Thank you very much for anything that would help me elucidate this mystery!
Kindest regards,
