Hello,

Ever since 3.4.4 I see lots more of:

Jul  9 19:08:01 box4 kernel: r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth0: link up
Jul  9 19:10:07 box4 kernel: r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth0: link up
Jul  9 19:16:44 box4 kernel: r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth0: link up
Jul  9 19:17:07 box4 kernel: r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth0: link up
Jul  9 19:17:49 box4 kernel: r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth0: link up
Jul  9 19:18:13 box4 kernel: r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth0: link up
Jul  9 19:18:43 box4 kernel: r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth0: link up

(etc, etc)

(without jigglin' the ethernet cable)

Is my hardware dying or is it the kernel?
A different ethernet switch didn't help....

Kind regards,
Udo

Try adding eb2dc35d99028b698cdedba4f5522bc43e576bd2 if you own a 8168evl.

If you don't, try reverting 036dafa28da1e2565a8529de2ae663c37b7a0060.

Reverting 036dafa28da1e2565a8529de2ae663c37b7a0060 appears to have a positive effect but it needs more time (few hours) to be sure.

Thanks,
Udo
