Bug Description
I greatfuly recognized that Ubuntu Jaunty has support vor Realteks RTL8102 Chipset, found in many Netbooks based on MSI's U100.
unfourtunley the Driver is in an unofficial - internal - Beta Stage. (see https:/
One Issue that really troubles me is lacking support for Unicast. This renders everything thats based on MDNS useless.
Like: Gnome-Networkshare, Vino, Hotssh, Rythmbox Musicsharing, Avahi-Tools, and so on....
Symthoms:
1.) You can ping an other Network.Computer and you also can make use of his services (like webdav), but avahi-discover, can not find them.
2.) Other Computers can not find you with avahi-discover, but can make use of you services if they know your IP and TCP-Port.
3.) Broadcast ping -b 255.255.255.255 does not work for me, but im not sure about this.
I don't know if anything like a Realtek-Bugtracker exists, to report the Bug to Realtek. So i belive that it is a good idea to have a Bugreport in Launchpad, so that other Users with this Issue have some Information on it.
