SYMPTOMS: I could not see any packet loss from ifconfig, but I, like others, saw network jitter, latency/ping spikes with continuous pings to www.google.com. Example: http://pastebin.com/J7G3fDnN (though no packetloss with ping, just the jitter)
SOLUTION (for me): With latest updates to 12.10 (kernel 3.5) I tried: Latest drivers from Intel (2.2.14): http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Network+Connectivity&ProductLine=Intel%C2%AE+Desktop+Adapters&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+Gigabit+CT+Desktop+Adapter THIS DID NOT FIX IT Then I added the boot kernel parameters: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="acpi=off pcie_aspm=off e1000e.IntMode=1,1 e1000e.InterruptThrottleRate=10000,10000 text" THIS DID NOT FIX IT Only after installing the latest 3.7 ubuntu kernel from here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.7.9-raring/ Instructions here: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2013/02/linux-kernel-version-3-7-9 -releasedinstall-it-in-ubuntu-12-10-quantal-quetzal/ Was my problem resolved. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1018561 Title: e1000e needs updating due to 82574L keeps dropping RX packets To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1018561/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
