Comment 6 for bug 998200

Coming over from bug 839393.

If I apt-get install linux-backports-modules-net-`uname -r` this problem goes away. I have to do this every time the kernel is upgraded, though. If I boot in to Window$, then boot into Ubuntu 12.04, my connection constantly drops until I either:

1) Install the backports package above.
2) Power off the computer, and unplug it.

I hear this is something with WOL, which I use. Note that I only have this problem after booting into Window$. I can boot up to Ubuntu for 3 months, and everything is fine. One time in Window$ without the backports installed, and bam, my internet drops every 30 seconds.
