Comment 8 for bug 1175091

I have the same problem with AR8152 v2.0 Fast Ethernet (rev c1) (same PCI ID) on Lenovo IdeaPad G570 laptop.

Tested on kernels:

* 3.7.10-1.1-default (openSUSE 12.3 x86 Live KDE) - fails
* 3.8.6 [can't remember exact version] (Fedora 18 x86) - fails
* 3.7.x (Fedora 17 x86) - fails
* 3.6.11 (Fedora 17 x86) - WORKS

So it seems that something bad happened between 3.6.x and 3.7.x.

Also, there are Atheroses (is that a correct word?) completely unaffected by this bug, all of them using atl1c module:

* AR8151 v2.0 Gigabit Ethernet (rev c0) [1969:1083], non-branded desktop PC
* AR8132 Fast Ethernet (rev c0) [can't remember PCI ID], ASUS UL20N laptop

Here's a (seemingly similar) bug in Red Hat bugzilla:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=901811

Some people there told about problems with non-Atheros wired cards as well as wireless ones and some symptoms persisted after downgrading the kernel to 3.6.x, but there's a possibility that those problems are caused by different bugs.
