Internet connection is short lived....literally

[Mr. Chopper]

I just installed 3.6 on my desktop (Athlon 2700 XP, VIA MB, Realtek Gigabit NIC), and my internet connection will only last for a few seconds. I can pump -r and then pump again, to reconnect, but the same thing happens. anyone know how I can get my internet to last more than a few seconds?

Nevermind, figured it out. Amazing what a kernel upgrade can do. Thanks for all the......help.
