I need to unplug/plug the network/cable (a twinax cable) several times to stabilize the situation and get some network. I was wondering if I should consider this as a driver/firmware bug or if I should look for a physical issue (I changed the physical cable several time= s). Or do you need some more info to help understand this issue?
