Status in linux package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  My Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 card is very unstable:

  - it takes even longer until I can ping the interface; often it does not become possible at all

  ; same bug applies to Oneiric 11.10 (#839393) and was closed (Won't
  fix) because it is no longer supported. It is not fixed, despite the
  suggestion that the 3.1/3.2 kernel would improve the situation.

  As 14.04.2 is LTS, I hereby report it again.

  version: Ubuntu 3.16.0-31.41~14.04.1-generic 3.16.7-ckt5
