        ReportedBy: [email protected]
        Regression: No
I have an odd problem with my NIC; on both x86 and x86_64 OpenSuSE 11.3 I lose network connectivity with my gateway router, if heavy downloading is evolved (e.g. downloading a large file over HTTP or any activity - large or small - on bittorrent). I have no limitations on my ISP side and the router is working fine. I even upgraded to the latest firmware from my wireless router's vendor and installed third party firmware, but the problem remains. While I lose connectivity on the wired network segment (my PC is directly connected to the router), the wireless segment continues to operate. What's even more odd, I have no networking issues while watching streaming media - normal or higher quality.
