I'm having some really odd issues with the networking on this old Intel se7501wv2 The network card onboard is an Intel Corporation 82546EB I'm getting quite a lot of "[Errno 4] Socket Error: timed out" when I attempt to download updates on this machine. Other machines on my network do not appear to be plagued with the same disconnect problems. Not sure what kernel flags I should try, I've tried noht and noapic at the moment. I've also tried setting the network card to half duplex to see if that helps. ethtool -s eth0 duplex half No luck so far. -Mike
