Hi,
lspci gives this:
02:05.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8001 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 13)
02:09.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)
The first one is the one having the trouble. Is this hardware known to be problematic?
Thanks,
--Alex

I
have
two
NICs
on
my
machine,
one
connected
to
a
router
and
is
always
up,
and
the
other
connected
back-to-back
to
a
laptop,
and
this
one
I
disconnect
and
connect
all
the
time.
I
created
a
bridge
on
top
of
these
two
interfaces,
and
it
functions
fine,
except
when
I
disconnect
and
connect
the
laptop,
I
have
to
remove
it
from
the
bridge
and
add
it
back
before
it
starts
bridging!
In
other
words,
I
need
to
do
"brctl
delif
br0
eth0;
brctl
addif
br0
eth0".

looks
the

the
removal/adding
and
after
it.
>From

around

Wireshark
it

to
me
that
before

only
broadcasts

received
from

unicast
packets
do
not
appear
there.
I
got
all
zeros
in
/proc/sys/net/bridge/*.
It

like
everything
is
configured
correctly.

What
hardware?
There
were
many
fixes
since
that
old
kernel.
