Hi,

I have an Asus M2NPV-VM motherboard with integrated Nvidia MCP51 Gigabit
Ethernet NIC and
TP-Link TG-3468 PCIe network card which is using Realtek 8111 chip.

I have problem with the re driver: the Nvidia network interface is working
properly but the other
though it seems recognized by OS I cannot use. Sporadically it remains down
and if it gets up then
does not get ip address via DHCP nor help if I set static ip address. Can
manipulate via ifconfig but
unreachable via IP.

I replaced cable, interchanged cable working with Nvidia, restarted
switch/router but no luck so far.
Also using this nic in a Windows machine - it works. Using my Asus mob with
Ubuntu Live CD - card works.

Can it be a driver bug or this type of chip is not supported by re driver?

Thanks,
Gabor
