[Bug 279102] Re: Unreliable network connection with B44 driver

[makkonen]

Thought I'd chime in here and point out that none of the simple fixes
mentioned in this thread were of any use. I was running XBMC Live 9.11
(Ubuntu 9.10 based). No Compiz to disable. Disabling CnQ in the bios did
nothing. Putting the computer to sleep and waking it did nothing.

However, the less quick fix seems to have done the trick. Martin Benes's
patch from post #44 (http://www.fi.muni.cz/~xbenes6/b44/b44.patch) still
applies (mostly cleanly) to the b44 sources included with
kernel-2.6.31-19. I ended up building a whole new kernel because I
didn't really know what I was doing, but it works now. No drops even
when streaming HD video across the LAN. Cheers.
