1 | | I want to explain better what happened when I ran the R8169 driver on my MB with a Realtek LAN chip in eCS 2.1. I ran R8169 v.0.0.4, and then v.0.2.1. Firefox opened a page and then froze the computer, requiring a hard reboot. At first the cursor moved slowly in jerks for 2-3 moves, then everything froze. Thunderbird connected and downloaded 3 emails, then froze in the same manner. I hope this information is useful in debugging the problem. |
