Christopher M. Penalver (penalvch),

I checked the page you linked to. The BIOS update is a Windows
executable. I don't have Windows on this system and haven't since the
day it arrived. I went ahead and downloaded sp70266.exe and tried
running it under wine and it of course, failed.

I ran the commands you asked for, here is the output:

8.14
12/17/2012

"Thank you for your understanding." after "your computer's buggy and
outdated BIOS" indicates a level of condescension and is not
appreciated.

The network has worked fine for 2 years, 100%. The recent firmware
update broke it.

Title:
  3.13.0-53-generic breaks networking after 3-5 minutes

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
  Release:	14.04

  I did the usual update with the graphical updater, it asked me to
  reboot. I did, after logging back in things looked OK for a few short
  minutes then networking completely stopped.

  After several warm reboots and a cold reboot I saw it was still doing
  the same thing. I tried switching wired off and went to wireless,
  (edit) the wireless (I remembered later) did not work. Perhaps if I'd
  disabled/reenabled networking and switched to wireless fast it may
  have.

  I found that I could Disable networking then reenable and networking
  would work again for a few minutes.

  I finally booted into the previous kernel 3.13.0-52-generic and it's
  working since I'm here.

  This same hardware, no changes has worked for around 2 years without
  issue.
