internet problem

[Michael Havens]

Do you mean the 'BUG: soft lockup- CPU#0 stuck for 24s! [Xorg: 1465]'? This
seems to be the only computer this happens with.
I did a search
<https://search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?hspart=ddc&hsimp=yhs-linuxmint&type=__alt__ddc_linuxmint_com&p=BUG%3A+soft+lockup-+CPU%230+stuck+for+24s!>
for the BUG.... and happened upon this
<http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/70377/bug-soft-lockup-cpu-stuck-for-x-seconds>
.
{
I googled around and by adding clocksource=jiffies to my kernel i fixed it.
Instead of jiffies you could also try "pit".
There are also reports of disabling C-states in the BIOS
<http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX127395>.
}

If I follow these instructions do they mean adding it to the boot options
or recompiling the kernel.

If you read the page it states, 'The cause was the hosts network driver
(realtek)...'

Would this be related to the problem I'm having with the router? Maybe the
router went belly-up.
