When I installed Ubuntu 13.04, my network froze after a few minutes.
Please refer -
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1176370. This bug
was handled upstream
(https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54021). I read somewhere
that the bug was fixed in the latest kernel. So, I downloaded and
installed the latest kernal.

Now I can browse without any problem, but when I try to switch on
hotspot, the network freezes (same old problem returns!). I wanted wifi
for my android phone, and so I followed the this guide
(http://www.webupd8.org/2013/06/how-to-set-up-wireless-hotspot-
access.html). Mobile gets connected to the computer without any trouble,
but network doesnot work.

When running 
$ ifconfig etho
I get
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:26:6c:d3:00:c1  
          inet addr:192.168.1.2  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:267212 errors:0 dropped:274 overruns:274 frame:274
          TX packets:264554 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:3

          RX bytes:302100605 (302.1 MB)  TX bytes:32422644 (32.4 MB)

And the network in computer as well as mobile freezes. After that to
make the eth0 work, I have to stop hotspot and disable wifi. And
reconnect LAN cable manually, or do

$ sudo ifconfig eth0 down
$ sudo ifconfig eth0 up
