Hi
I have a problem with the Reaktek 8168 on two Asus mainboards, the M5A97
LE R2.0 and the M5A97 EVO R2.0.
Sporadically, but especially when I transmit larger amounts of data, the
driver stops receiving packets from the network. I can verify with
tcpdump that packets sent from the driver reach the network, but packets
(answers) sent from the network don't read the driver.
I have opensuse 12.2 installed on both systems. With the supplied r8169
driver, this effect would happen within a few seconds when transferring
large files between two systems with gigabit ethernet. I the found and
compiled the r8168 driver. With this driver it is much better, but it
happens occasionally anyway. I can fix this by reloading the driver, or
by rebinding the driver with
echo 0000:02:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/r8168/unbind
echo 0000:02:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/r8168/bind
So to me it seems to be a software issue, especially as this happens on
two different boards. Unfortunately both reloading and rebinding take a
few seconds to reestablish the network link, and first it is necessary
to detect that the driver can't receive packets any more.
Is this a known problem?
If so, is there a known way to fix it?
If not, what additional information can I provide to fix it? Are there
any interesting debug settings?
Is there as a workaround a faster way to reinitialize the driver?
If it helps I can also run a custom driver with additional debug code.
Regards
Ralf Friedl

Can you send the XID line that your stock kernel r8169 driver displays ?
It will help identifying your chipset revision as a start.
Thanks.

Thanks.
I have not noticed 8168f specific problems as of late. It could be worth
giving stock 3.8 a try though: its load of changes includes some post
3.4.x branch 8168f bits.

Thank you very much.
I just installed the OpenSuse kernel 3.8.0-2.1 and transferred my
collection of Linux install images, about 145G, to and from another
computer, without a single problem.
So whatever was changed fixed the issue.
I have one warning in the syslog, but I hope it is not serious.

It's the usual transmit timeout watchdog. A transient loss of network
traffic should be noticable when it triggers. You may live with it as
long as it does not happen much but it means that something does not
work correctly.
