[aklug] Re: New machine doesn't work

There seem to be posts about a bug concerning networking on this board.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/347711

It appears it may have been OK a couple of kernels ago, then not with
the kernels past 2.6.18 through what everyone seems to be using at the
moment, then may be OK again w/ 2.6.31 kernel

Something about a stability issue with the network interface drivers.

I'm not certain what kernel Ubuntu is on at the moment, but Fedora is at
2.6.30. I'd guess Ubuntu as at about the same place.
