Jumpy wired connection

[muspellsmegir]

Hello everyone, im pleased to be here with this distro, i really like it, but let's talk about this jumpy connection: my troubles starts with the new pc i have bought a phenom 2 x6 + Gigabyte 990FX-ud5 + HD 6850.
The fact is that my connection goes and come irregularly, it seems to work for a while and then stop, sometime it never work again and others it work almost regularly.

I have tried with original ethernet card drivers but nothing, the weird thing is that with the OPENSuse 12.1(beta) the connection is absolutely perfect.

The things i know is that the card is a Realtek 8111/8168B and with lsmod i find an r8169 (for as i know is the standard kernel module for the realtek, the same in the suse) and that i don't want to change distro !!!

Im not an expert and is almost a week that i search what is the problem without a decent result ... someone have an advice ?
By the way if i have missed something with the rules im sorry, everyone is welcome to correct me, thank you

No idea, but putting "r8169" into the SL Forums Search box turned up the following recent post:

http://forum.sabayon.org/viewtopic.php? ... 69#p142793

You could try what that user did, viz. download the driver from the Realtek Web site, to see if that helps.

I have seen that post and tried that driver too, but didn't help at all ...

... by the way im really embarrassed, today i reinstalled sabayon, i don't know what i have touched, and now it's working pretty stable, for now.

Before signing this as [Solved] I want to know if anyone has had similar problems or has a good idea of ​​what might have happened, so for the next time me and noobs like me don't lose a whole week ...
