Workaround for Atheros Communications AR8152 Driver Hanging up Problem in Linux


My Ethernet controller AR8152 starts to hang up after few minutes of operation. I am running on Fedora 18. This issue was not there in Fedora 16.

[kasun@localhost ~]$ lspci | grep Atheros
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR8152 v1.1 Fast Ethernet (rev c1)
[kasun@localhost ~]$

However this is a known issue which from February 2013.
Kernel Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54021
Red Hat Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=928220 
My kernel is "3.9.6-200.fc18.x86_64". Here is the workaround I used.
