sorry for the lack of information thereof:

the conventional processor name is AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 940 Processor

i bought the computer back in like 2008, sorry.

it's an AMD 790FX motherboard chipset for eth0 (r8169i driver)

eth1 is a Roswell RC-404 PCI adapter (r8169 driver)

if regression means it didn't used to happen and now it's happening with a newer Linux OS/kernel then yes.  if regression means something different, i'm not sure.

i think it started with my installation of Fedora 18 which began with kernel 3.6 or 3.7, i really can't remember. it might have started with kernel 3.8.

before then all was OK.

hope this helps.
