Was just wondering wether it is just a driver problem or should take it back to shop... The thing is, that when I power the computer off completely (take it off ac completely, so the motherboard gets shut down completely) and then boot it again, it seems to work again... I wasn't able to find any reason for it to fail, sometimes it failed 2-3 times a day, then it ran on for about a week... I'm running the same driver (forcedeth), logs show the same messages, nothing interesting before them... I've got win installed on the machine and even rebooting to them didn't help (tought, that the win driver could somehow reset the card back ;), only the hard power-down. I do not use the win instalation much (at least it is newer booted for longer than 2-3 hours...) so I can't say if it happens in win too... lspci -vv 0000:00:0a.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation CK804 Ethernet Controller (rev a3) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
