Is it just me, or is the recent, supposedly stable, Linux 3.8 kernel plagued with issues? I've been hearing them everywhere. Even I'm having problems with my PVR-150 TV card.

Yep. Ran into a rather large issue here when transferring files over the network. Didn't matter of it was over samba, rsync/ssh, etc. Around 2GB, it would fail with errors in dmesg. A bug report was filed and 3.8.3 has plans to fix it. No more 13.04 beta for me at the moment.

FYI, happens on my desktop and laptop, wired and wireless. *shrug*

I've been using the 3.8 kernel since it's release, seeing as my system wouldn't even boot using the 3.7 kernel. I haven't had any problems at all. I'm currently running 3.8.0-11.

@Roasted, didn't you try the solution given to you in the U+1 sub-forum?
