Comment 23 for bug 309211

Another Update:
This still occurres on a fresh lucid lynx either with the stock driver modules or the CFLAGS_EXTRA-Settings.

root@sofa:~# ethtool -i eth0
driver: e1000
version: 8.0.19-NAPI
firmware-version: N/A
bus-info: 0000:05:00.0
root@sofa:~#

The switch to which the NIC is connected is a Linksys SD2005.

The errors on this NIC are:

root@sofa:~# ethtool -S eth0 | grep -v ": 0"

Already tried an changed cables and tried to renegotiate via "ethtool -r eth0" but to no avail.

The NIC worked flawlessly during "Debian Lenny" and its stock kernel.
