Linuxo Forumi

Problem mi se pojavio otkako sam uzeo nov kompjuter. E sad instalirao sam Suse 10.3 i sve pronadje (od muzicke, preko graficke do mrezne) ali nikako ne mogu da se konektujem na internet  . Koristim sbb preko mrezne kartice i na starom kompu mi je radilo sve OK, ali sada nikako. Sta mi je za cinit?

P.S. ploca je gigabyte P35-DS3L, a mrezna gigabyte RTL 8111/8168B

As of 27 May 2007, in kernel 2.6.21.3, you may experience the issues with the r8169 driver if you dual boot Windows on some systems. Windows by defaults disables the NIC at Windows shutdown time in order to disable Wake-On-Lan, and this NIC will remain disabled until the next time Windows turns it on. The r8169 driver in the kernel does not know how to turn the NIC on from this disabled state; therefore, the device will not respond, even if the driver loads and reports that the device is up. To work around this problem, simply enable the feature "Wake-on-lan after shutdown." You can set this options through Windows' device manager.

Edit: Problem with dual-booting with Windows exist also in 2.6.19.5 and 2.6.20.8 kernel, so it is safe to assume that it will concern all 2.6 kernels until the kernel developers update the drivers for RTL8168 to the version that will be able to turn on the NIC from disabled state. (Corey)

Second edit: Powering off and unplugging the machine for a few seconds (around 10 usually does it) seems to reset the card, so it will work in Linux again until you boot Windows again.

Third edit: 2.6.22.4 still cannot power up the NIC.
