Title:
  Unstable Ethernet connection

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When using the ethernet port on my laptop using the standard network
  manager, there are periodic drops in connectivity. The network manager
  will not report that it is disconnected, but ping don't come back for
  periods around 90 seconds when events occur. These events occur every
  few minutes.

  Originally reported that I had the same issue as #1176370, but was requested to file a new bug report. The following is what I had commented on that bug. I followed the recommendation to try the latest kernel image, but uninstalled the mainline kernel when it did not fix the issue

  @penalvch: I've been having the same problem myself after a fresh install of Ubuntu 13.04. I tried the kernel at the link you provided. My uname now reports: Linux glaedr 3.11.0-031100rc1-generic #201307141935 SMP Sun Jul 14 23:36:57 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux.

  The issue still remains even with this kernel. I also noticed that I
  don't have to disconnect and reconnect the ethernet cable. If i just
  wait a minute, it will reconnect. Doing a ping, it looked like exactly
  90 seconds of downtime between connections. It does not show that the
  connection is lost, just loosing packets. Same with downloads.. it
  will continue after a while, but not for long. I have a Gateway (Acer)
  NV17 with the stock atl1c driver loaded. Please let me know if there
  is any other information I can provide. For now, wifi works fine, but
  I need my ethernet connection for bonding my VMs to a development
  lan...
