I believe I was able to resolve this issue by installing the latest
drivers for my network adapter.
The older driver was...
driver: e1000e
version: 1.0.2-k4
firmware-version: 0.3-0
The newer (working) driver is...
driver: e1000e
version: 1.2.17-NAPI
firmware-version: 0.3-0
bus-info: 0000:00:19.0
For anyone else having this issue, here are the steps I used.
(These instructions are included in a README file with the downloaded driver).
$ sudo apt-get install ethtool
# To find the name of the network adapter...
$ lspci -v | grep Ethernet -A 1
$ ethtool -i eth0
# You can also reference http://www.intel.com/support/network/sb/cs-008441.htm
# Navigate to http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000
# Click on the "View all files" button.
# Download the latest driver matching the output of ethtool -i eth0
# In my case this was e1000e stable | 1.2.17
$ cd [DOWNLOAD LOCATION]
$ tar xvfz e1000e-1.2.17.tar.gz
$ cd ./e1000e-1.2.17/src
$ sudo modprobe -r e1000e
# Note: rmmod e1000e is equivalent to modprobe -r e1000e
$ sudo rm /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/e1000e/e1000e.ko
$ sudo make install
$ sudo insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/e1000e/e1000e.ko
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-`uname -r`
# Reboot
