Comment 68 for bug 212497

Hmm, it is very weird as it works on my PC since, I believe, 8.10 Intrepid alpha 5.

Now I'm using Intrepid beta because I got another bug reported in the following link after upgrading the ram of my PC from 2 GiB to 4 GiB. I was using 8.04.1.

Anyway, using Intrepid beta solved the problem of EXA and it does not have the problem of realtek network described in this report.

$ lspci | grep Ethernet
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 02)

This is mine but the driver loaded is 8169, and it works.

I don't understand what is going on here. It works on some PCs but does not for some others?

Regards,
Kevin
