Bug Description

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 64bit

In contrast to similar bug reports #470277 and #459672 my network connection breaks irregularly - sometimes after few hours and sometimes after one day without any particularly reason or error message. I notice it due completely lost of network traffic and recognize it as following message in messages.log:

Hi Boris,

If you could also please test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

I have an old Toshiba Satellite Pro A20 (w/ P4-HT), and I had the same network lockups.

Disabling IO-APIC with the "noapic" boot option completely solved the issue.

Ubuntu 10.10; kernel 2.6.35-27-generic-pae & 2.6.35-27-generic
