Description Eugene Saenko 2013-07-03 09:38:07 UTC
Description of problem:
If there are both:
wired network adapter (Atheros Communications Inc. AR8152 v2.0 Fast Ethernet (rev c1), driver atl1c)
and
wireless (Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01), driver ath9k)

and only wired connection is in use (wireless adapter isn't connected to AP but is enabled by hardware switch), wired connection is braked off after 2 to 3 minutes of normal work. 
Link can be rectored by unplug network cable and plug in again.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Additional info:
If wireless adapter is disabled by hardware switch, the wired network works OK.

Comment 1 Kasun Chathuranga 2013-07-03 13:36:58 UTC
I have same problem with these two.

02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01)
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR8152 v1.1 Fast Ethernet (rev c1)

I revert back AR8152 driver to little old version and make it some how run.

Comment 2 Neil Horman 2013-07-03 14:19:37 UTC
I'm going to merge this with the other bz I'm working that involves these two components.  What atl1c driver version do you revert back to that makes this work?  I'm trying to find a good start point for a bisect.
