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

[yonkiman]

I also have this problem with 10.10, kernel 2.6.35-22-34.  Brand-new
motherboard is ASUS P7P55D- E PRO with Realtek "8112L" Ethernet chip.
(Realtek website doesn't know about 8112 - I think it's actually the
RTL8111.)

Ethernet works fine under WinXP, but when I boot into Ubuntu the
ethernet is no longer working.  What's worse, it kills ethernet when I
boot back into Windows.  Turning ethernet OFFin the bios, booting into
Windows, restarting, turning ethernet back ON in the bios, rebooting
into Windows *sometimes* gets it working again in Windows (others have
reported turning PC for a time fixes the problem).  I've never had it
working in Ubuntu.

There seem to be a lot of related "Linux/Ubuntu killed my ethernet"
threads over the last year or so...this seems to be fairly common.  I
almost started to RMA my MB!
