Bug Description
I already posted a lot of information @ https:/
OS : Ubuntu 10.04 32bit generic
NIC : TP-Link TG-3269, Realtek 8169 chip based 1 GB.
Included driver r8169 did not work. Downloaded and compiled the source code from the realtek website. New r8169 module loaded and working but only fixed at 100mbit. No results with trying to operate the card at other speed, duplexing, etc with either the usual ethtoo and mii-tool commands. The card won't even switch to 10mbit.
Upgraded as suggested in the link above to the latest kernel (2.6.23-32) but again the card does not work at all at any speed, duplexing etc.
lspci result for this card: 05:01.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10)
Nothing out of the ordinairy appears in the logs. lsmod | grep r8169 results in.
r8169 34076 0
mii 4381 2 r8169,e100
The card is thus detected and an appropriate driver is loaded. Compiling the source from Realtek again results in a working NIC fixed at 100mbit full duplex.

Hi avdheiden,
Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http:// cdimage. ubuntu. com/daily- live/current/ . If the issue remains, please run the following command from a Terminal (Applications- >Accessories- >Terminal) . It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.
apport-collect -p linux 596825
Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/KernelMainl ineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs- upstream- testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs- upstream- testing' text. Please let us know your results.
Thanks in advance.
