Comment 66 for bug 1175091

Hi Benjamin,

the symptoms on my NIC are the same as described in the other comments.

I made the following test to isolate the problem:

I pinged my desktop PC from my laptop and ran Wireshark on both computers for monitoring. When the problem occured, I could still see the incoming echo request and the outgoing echo reply on the desktop PC, but the echo reply never showed up in Wireshark on the laptop. Instead, in the ifconfig output, the counters dropped, overruns and frame in the RX line started counting up until I removed the LAN cable for a few seconds and plugged it back in.

I am going to check the mentioned kernel package, but I will be quite busy this week so it will take some time until I have a possibility to do the test.
