Comment 24 for bug 42572

Yes, similar problems here with various Suse/Debian kernels and the recommendations found on the net did not work 100%. In the end,
a patch posted from Auke Kok did show the solution: disable ASPM for the network device.

See my other postings:

Feel free to change/repost the description to make it work on Ubuntu with kernel <2.6.25 (most likely you only need to add at least a "sudo" before "make install").
