weighing in on this issue again, i have observed the traffic coming from my network card (e1000e chipset on an ICH8-based motherboard) and there is all kinds of erratic behaviour...for example:
while visiting web-pages and sniffing traffic with wireshark, random "ethernet" packets with random MAC addresses can be observed being transmitted and received...the contents of these malformed ethernet packets contain anything from bits of the html itself, to fragments of images, etc. i understood that the e1000e "corruption" bug was already fixed but this seems not to be the case, somehow the packets themselves are being malformed...just to make sure i replaced my card with an old realtek pci and all networking issues immediately vanished, no malformed packets recorded by wireshark or ettercap -- Wrong UDP Packets Checksum https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/127749 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
