[Virtual-pkg-base-maintainers] Bug#597817: base: Realtek RTL8111/8168B doesn't always work

[Aniruddha]

Package: base
Severity: important


Every other boot I don't have internet access, eth0 doesn't get an ip address assigned from the dhcp server. ifdown eth0 /  ifup eth0 doens't work either.
When I reboot everything works again. I have installed several distro's on this pc which didn't have this problems. I think the problem is with my Realtek network card.
