My motherboard has a NIC on it that lspci reports as a "Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B". In the past, the Linux support for this chip hasn't been very good. Like other reports I see on the net, when I try to use this NIC, it works for a little while, after which the NIC seems to just die. It stops transferring data, and any process trying to transfer data also hangs up. I think some were even unkillable. Only a cold boot will unlock the chip. What's the current state of the driver for this chip? Has this problem been fixed yet?
