            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1

In my home network I have a Belkin router with an older DD-WRT firmware.
Everything was running fine with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04.
Trouble startet with the new OpenSuse (12.3?) with kernel 3.7 on my desktop
machine. Wired networking would just stop working.
Same problem on my netbook with Ubuntu 13.04 and wireless networking, with
12.04 and kernel 3.5 things are much better, with 3.2 it was perfect.
I tried installing Fedora and Arch on my desktop, but the problem persists with
kernel 3.8. My wild guess is that newer kernels networking code rubs my Belkin
router the wrong way, but I don't know what kernel settings I need to change.
Thanks in advance.
