Subject: Re: kernel 4.18.5 Realtek 8111G network adapter stops responding
under high system load
Hi,
Thanks.
I have just applied Heiner Kallweit's patch on top of kernel 4.18.10 and
the TxConfig register contains 0x4f000f80.
I will give it 24 hours under high load and report back if the patch
really solves the problem.
Bye,
David Arendt
