Title:
  Internet connection lost on activating hotspot

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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
            collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 
            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
