[Panagiotis Papadakos <papadako@xxxxxxxxx>]

The r8169 is unreliable also in my system. I am using latest saucy distribution with 3.11.0-5 kernel.
The link is unstable, most of the times does not connect and also sometimes leads to hard lockups.
This is on a RTL8101E/RTL8102E.

Title:
  Realktek r8169 driver unrelaible with r8101/02

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Support for the realtek r8101 Ethernet interfac is handled by r8169 driver on Ubuntu Precise. However, the link is very unreliable and fails to connect most of the time. Speed negotiates down to 10Mbit/sec usually, half duplex, even when using the workaround 'sudo ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off'
  There seems a problem with the link speed negotiation?
  Won't connect at higher speeds at all. 
  It's not possible to use the r8101 driver previously available as this is supplied by Realtek only for 2.4/2.6 kernels. It won't compile under 3.2.x
