70-persistent-net.rules to remove the invalid rules and rebooting may help fix the
problem.
Crashes occur with high network load
The USB driver allocates memory from the kernel, and when traffic is very high (e.g.
when using torrents/newsgroup downloads) this memory can be exhausted causing
crashes/hangs. You should have a line like:
vm.min_free_kbytes = 8192
in /etc/sysctl.conf. Try increasing that number to 16384 (or higher). If that doesn't work,
try adding to /boot/cmdline.txt
smsc95xx.turbo_mode=N
which will reduce network throughput, but has improved stability issues for some.
Network connection fails when a Graphical User Interface is being used
The network connection may fail when the command startx is used to enter a Graphical
User Interface. This is caused by a bug in the USB driver related to certain types of USB
mouse.
As of 1 September 2012, this fault is fixed in the latest firmware. To load the latest
firmware, see http://elinux.org/R-Pi_Troubleshooting#Updating_firmware
