Comment (by taos):
Just for information: Running r37573 on a Samsung NC10 (equipped with the
same infamous marvell yukon 88e8040 chip) still shows the known behaviour.
One time out of ten, ethernet works for hours without a single problem as
already described by pulkomandy. Otherwise, ethernet fails after
transferring a few kB.[[BR]]
Oddly enough, so far it has always worked when I booted into Haiku for the
first time after I installed a new revision. Up to about one month ago, I
used to install Haiku on a physical partition by mounting it as a write-
through vmdk file in a virtual installation of Haiku in VirtualBox. I
completely wiped the physical partition, then I copied everything from the
virtual installation to the physical installation. After booting from the
physical partition for the first time I could always install optional
packages without problems. Only when booting for the second time ethernet
would eventually fail.[[BR]]
I noticed that if I update an existing installation of Haiku (without
removing all files first), ethernet will probably fail after the first
reboot. So I tried to mimic a virgin installation of Haiku by removing the
old home folder (including all configuration files) and replacing it with
an untouched one from a nightly image file. At first, it seemed to work as
ethernet connections were stable after the restart. When this method
eventually failed for the first time after the fifth or sixth test,
however, I realized that this was no solution - it must have been a mere
coincidence. Anyway, replacing the home folder before rebooting gave me a
slight increase in ethernet reliability (~25% chance of a functioning
ethernet connection after restart).
