Bug Description
Natty beta 1 currently ships version 1.2.20 of the e1000e driver. It suffers from massive packet drops (66%) and gives a very unstable network connection. The current upstream version1.3.10a fixes the issue, so I suggest including it as soon as possible.

Confirming that this is a serious network problem. One of our machines has about 30% of packet loss, the other about 15%.
The packet loss does not occur when the link is at 1Gb/s, but does occur at 100Mb/s (haven't tried 10Mb/s).
lspci:
00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82579V Gigabit Network Connection (rev 05)
Workaround: install the up-to-date driver from Intel and then run "update-initramfs -u".
